Hi Chris,

Still got your 5200SLs!! Added 5200HC, 3200 rears, 861v6 and DSW. About to upgrade v6 to v8 and 5200HC to SE.

I've had tricky issues with my DSW position and integration. Originally had it in the left corner to the left of the left front. Sort of happy there but realised it wasn't functioning correctly so moved it to right of left front so it's just under and to the left of the centre. Works better there. Rick of Audio images suggest I put it near to where I listen and then find where in the room the bass is best and put it there. Yet to do this as it will probably conflict with my wife's idea of where things go - she's very tolerant of my M stuff but enjoys it too!

Worth playing around with the config too. I've tried it with the DSW as LFE for multichannel music and movie and not using it for two channel movie logic and setting centre to small (2ch logic doesn't allow combination of DSW as LFE cos it's not there i guess). Also tried setting them all to large and again using DSW for LFE only. Tried every combination of small and large and DSW as LFE only or sending bass from centre to it along with LFE. Never used bass heavy mode for DSW.

Currently settled on setting centre to small and sub set to centre not mono so bass from centre goes to DSW in all modes. Rears send bass to fronts. I leave the filters as they are and apply room correction.

If you use the config program then with 861 M6 7200 and DSW it defaults to the centre to large except in 2 ch movie logic mode where it sets them all to small and sends bass from M6 7200 to the DSW so bass heavy mono. Not sure this will sound nice.

Hope this all helps!

Best regards
Bob
