Charlie: I too used a pair of ICBMs, one for SACD and one for DVD-A, but now I gave up on DVD-A so I sold my second ICBM. I run everything through the Sony P9K preamp as so:
1. MC SACD player --> ICBM --> (5.1 Input 1)9PK
2. Stereo 2 channel analog --> (5.1 Input 2)9PK
3. Outlaw 950 --> (5.1 bypass Input)P9K
4. Outlaw 950 Rear Center Pre-outs --> amp --> speakers
Finally,
5. P9K 5.1 outputs--> amps --> speakers
This allows me to use the ICBM for SACD and my 950's triple crossover for movies and digitally converted output. Yet, my analog music takes the most direct route possible.
