    Yeah, I have been researching solutions and considered this unit (Great price this sold for!) as well as the Antimode. However, XT32 is something I wanted to to since it came out. So, the plan is to abandon the Pioneer Elite unit in favor of the Onkyo 818. At some point I still plan to try the MiniDSP....especially if XT32 does not work out....but I plan to really play with it and learn it so we will see. Only one sub for now but would like to up the learning curve by the time I crave and have space for a second.

    OK, I will shut up....this post is dead/sold!

    There is only one stand-alone bass management that has XT32 - SVS AS-EQ1, but it costs more than double than SMS-1, so you might as well buy another receiver.

    The SMS-1 has capability to connect three subs, so no need for a Y adapter, which is what I'm using now to split the signal to two subs. One sub is currently in the front right corner, the other is next to the rear row of seating on the right side also. In my setup, there is no wall on the left, pool table area and no rear wall, bar area. Not too many choices for sub placement. I know I have peaks and valleys in the bass response by using a Reives test disc and RS db meter. The SC07 MCACC does not correct for the bass, so Im hoping the SMS-1 can add enough equalizing control to help smooth out the bass response. Bass traps will also be needed eventually and is on the wanted list. I know the SMS-1 does not separately adjust each sub, but looking to see what it can do. I may move the back right sub to front left and try that location also. I'm looking forward to having fun testing a lot of sub locations, mic locations, and other adjustments. If for some reason it doesn't help, look for it in the FS forum......
    3 sub outputs is awesome! You might find running the other sub works great up in the front left, I'm guessing it would then be equal distance with the sub in the front right to the MLP?

    Sub distance to the listening position doesn't really matter because low-frequency wavelength is huge, compared to mid and high frequencies.
