    So which is being robbed of it's low end ? Not that they should have that much anyway since you have a subwoofer in the mix. Where is your crossover set at and have you played around with different settings ?

    Not to be glib - but isn't 'bass management' by definition 'robbing' the mains of the dangerous scary and harmful bass signals so that the sub can handle it?

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    What do you have the mains crossed over at?
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.
