Ok, have a look at this . . .

On page 10 is how I have my speakers connected. I at first tried it how the diagram is configured. With the sub speaker wires running to the 1050 and the sat wires running to the 1050. This gave the sound I described. I then ONLY disconnected the wires at the sub to try it out.

My LFE cable is an Acoustic Research LFE cable, I assume it is shielded.

urbnwndsfr: Yes, I was asking at what volume number the 1050 is reading when you are seeing 75db from the front speakers. Mine is at 62 using the Avia CD.

It sounds like our speakers are in the same basic configuration/location.

My sub is on a 25' LFE cable because it is placed about 12-14 feet from my 1050 and had a choice of a 12 or a 25' cable. Plus I ran the wires under the floor and needed the extra length for everything.

gonk: I will post my picture when I get home tonight. The back of the BA Sub has 4 connections:

LF Speaker +/-
RF Speaker +/-
LFE
Sub Out

The speaker connections are the cheap spring loaded things. My 14/2 wire barely fit. It was also quite a struggle to get two 14/2 wires into the back of the 1050, forget about even attempting to do that in the Micro 90xII sats! lol

Gonk, while you are off scratching your head, read page 10 of the manual.
