Thanks. I've been running EBA in 5.1 for a while and I can set EBA on/off whenever I want via MSR having enabled it on all presets in config, movies, surround, whatever and notwithstanding the presence of non EBA speakers on occasion. So I can do what I like. As I understand it I can currently use it in every application of the speaker and next week I won't?

Is it that the software has been told not to allow EBA if non EBA speakers are present? The software being intelligent (and me not). I suppose you could get round this by telling the processor white lies about what's connected but then not if it knows whats connected

There's no real reason why I would want to do this really but it somehow feels better if I get to choose what's using EBA as I can now rather than it being told. Is this what is meant?

(Re firmware clumps, putting a delay on 3200s doesn't sound too challenging but hopefully my clump (32002, 3300 and DSW) will be along soon. my excitement happened 14 months ago, so whats another few months...)
