So that does solve a bunch of timing problems (not all of them). But then you do have a "QSC system" with an ADA or 861 as a source. It's just that the ADA is willing to play along more than the 861 but (in my own humble opinion neither is ideal). I'm also curious why ADA would be crossed over at 80hz (I assume that was posted by you) and not let the QSC do all bass management since it knows and can handle multiple subs.

Sorry a lot of mis information posted here leading to wrong speculation of problems. No matter how you slice it. 4 subs with a Meridian box is a slippery slope. And I do put my money where my mouth is and you'll see I have no subs for very good reason. Only sub I ever would add is an LFE sub. If I want more slam I get bigger speakers. If I had a massive room I'd put a sub on each channel as I described above. Taking the SEPERATE low frequencies from each channel, lumping them together with the seperate LFE channel, throwing away the Meridian DACS and then splitting them out again just seems the wrong way to go about it. And you seemed to prove that with your disatisfaction.

George,
You have no subs? Do you use your system for movies as well as music? It we be pure luck if your main speakers ended up being in the correct spot for you to get the optimum bass for your seating position.

If you took a sub, an SPL meter, and a test tone disk and measured the db at the various freq between 15 and 80 hz, you will see (hear) what I mean. Move the sub from spot to spot and here the differences.

No matter how big you get the speaker, its not going to take the place of a sub(s).

With the QSC, it does room correction as well as does equilibration for 80 hz and below.

When I used MRC on the 861, I was not able to achieve the sound quality I was able to get with the QSC.

By the way, If you ever get a chance to look into the control room of a movie theater, you will see QSC.
