    understood, I have observed that audyssey pings are a fixed value and gains/levels are ignored when in calibration mode. The response is measured and derives trim levels to match all channels in addition to the EQ'd response. Audyssey techs confirmed this when I inquired as to what I suspected going on. So, with nothing else changed in the system, the L/C/R trims are now 4-5db lower with the SX-1000's vs. M25 as set by Audyssey. Whether or not my interpretation of the data is correct, that is what I have to report as a before/after.

    When the windows are shut the sound is pretty well contained. I haven't had any complaints so far from the neighbors.

    At the levels you use for listening, I am sure you are experiencing MUCH improved dynamics with the new power driving the speakers.

    I'm just waiting for you to get ICE all the way around.

    That visit was a blast--we need to sample more there.

    I felt like I needed a cigarette after WOTW.

    Hey Dave,

    I got into a discussion over on Hsu's forum about this stacked Sierra config. I saw in post #73 you mentioned the strengths and weaknesses of the setup, but didn't mention anything either way about lobing or combing. Are those an issue at all with the Sierra's running in such a manner? Or does the crossover work essentially make that a nil consideration? Just curious
