There are probably some Maggie users around here who can weigh in on how the RR2150 handles them based on first-hand experience. My impression of the 2150's power output is quite positive, and with a sub added in (relieving the Maggie's of the bottom end) I would expect it to help with the power demands.
I did think about using the Yamaha as a pre amp and getting a seperate power amp...but then I'd have to replace it in HT anyway. Plus...I THINK on the Yammie, it doen't output to the sub without the processor in line. Its really amazing how the imaging degrades when it's not running direct stereo mode.
I feel certain that you are correct - bass management is nearly always performed in the digital domain on surround receivers and processors. The process of converting the analog signal to digital, then converting it back to analog, is what is tripping you up here. The RR2150 is pretty unusual in having analog bass management, as most pure analog receivers simply omit bass management.
