Hi All

Just an update that I managed to get my agent in Singapore to loan me a used DSW to pair with my DSP5200SEs. First impressions, the DSW is a large unit relative to the DSPs, so aesthetically, its not the best pair up. Led me to think that since the DSW has been around for some time (launched 2006 or 2011?) M might do a refresh soon.

Sound-wise for such a large unit, 12" driver, it doesn't give explosive room rocking bass, but that's good news. Its a much subtler, sophisticated enhancement to the sound picture, producing a more three dimensional image and strengthening the bass line with presence and depth. Please do let me know if this is contrary to any listening experience you had with the unit - then I can investigate if it is not working properly ! For now, it creates ambience very nicely.

I havent tried any Bluray DVDs of action movies, but suspect it wont be shaking the walls. Will update after I have given it a go in movie mode.
