Thanks for the suggestions. I still feel, however, that all of these options involve compromises on some level. We shouldn't have to add an external crossover to a $9000 processor with ample horsepower for individual channel crossovers. Anyway, I'm still enjoying my music and movies but am always lokking to tweak an extra ounce of performance out of my system. I have written Meridian about this and will post an update when I hear back.
