Hmmm. Well, I guess I'd be able to figure out if the 1066 is handling the redirected LFE properly pretty easily by comparing the digital feed (with redirected LFE) to the analog one (with LFE passed through directly from the DVD player). Thanks for pointing that out.

I don't own a 950; I have a Rotel RSP-1066 which, I mentioned above, also seems to have some bass management quirks with its 6.1 analog inputs. I'm not interested in a strictly analog preamp because I like the flexibility and features that the 1066 provides. I like the way PLII and Neo:6 sound...

No comments, anybody? Does the setup I described above seem like a valid solution? Or am I overlooking some potential problems?

I know it's been said many times that the 950 and the ICBM aren't very compatible because the 950 routes LFE + summed bass from every channel to the subwoofer, but I think I've figured out a way to get them to work together. Now, I don't own a 950, so please correct me if my logic is flawed...

Thanks for posting your discoveries. I'll have to experiment a little bit and see if I get the same results. I hope the Rotel isn't doing automatic bass management on the 6.1 inputs. One of the main reasons I bought it was because I was under the impression that it was a true pass-through...

Everyone seems to have a different idea of what "bypass" should mean, so I won't get into that, but 2-channel stereo will only use the main L/R speakers. If the source is 2-channel, it will remain 2-channel, but if the source is more than 2-channels, it will combine the channels and send...
