Gonk:
Thanks for the reply. I forgot to add what you stated -- that movies would be watched through a digital connection for DD decoding. What concerns me about setting the speakers to small is having too much bass. Does Bass Management include the ability to set different db levels for the subwoofer out? I don't want to have to physically turn down the gain on the subwoofer when switching from audio to movies, but I also don't want to miss the ability to get really low bass from the sub while using the superior speakers for everthing above about 40HZ. Am I worrying too much? Before I spend $7,000 on a set-up (with speakers), I want to be sure I am not wasting my time.

Thanks.
