Gonk and Matt,
Thanks for the reply. My thought on this moved more toward using the ICBM module on the output side of the amp. I'm considering buying the modified version for the Maggies which definetly need an addtional tweek on the bass management regardless of the functions of the reciever or the DVD-Audio players bass management capabilities. Even Outlaw recommends using the ICBM between the processor/pre-amp and the amp when you are outputing sound the Maggie speakers. I would be managing my entire bass output for all audio output including music and theater with the ICBM and from that standpoint as 7.1 has become the standard it would make sense to have a unit that supports all 7 channels independently.

From the standpoint of new products, it would be awesome if the next generation has a dual 7.1 switcher that acts independently of the bass mangement so that you could have swither inputs and outputs as well as ICBM inputs and outputs, with an internal switch that could bypass the switcher outputs and route them directly to the ICBM inputs if you want the ICBM to work on the input side of your procesor/pre-amp, but you could also then use the ICBM to combine 6.1 inputs and have the ICBM manage the bass on the output side like I want to if they have separate in/outs. Just a thought...
