Hey Gonk,

I found this over at the XA2 main thread.

"When using the XA2's analog outputs and playing the HD audio formats (TrueHD/DD+) on HD DVDs, the XA2 will not properly look at the speaker size settings in the setup. If you set your speakers to small, low bass is still being directed to them when it should be sent just to the subwoofer. If your receiver can re-digitize the analog inputs to compensate then you're ok, otherwise you run a risk of overloading the speakers when playing those audio formats at very loud levels. "


So as you stated, I should set the speakers to large in the XA2, then the 990 will do it's thing and set everything the way I want it...correct?? So, for example, if I set the 990 to small, with sub, at different x-overs, the 990 will do that with the incoming analog signal from the XA2...In theory...hopefully, and not to the fault of the 990 if it doesn't work out correctly.
