Looking forward to L800 but have concerns, what are your thoughts?

Thought so, but wasn't sure.
Thanks, been wanting to check this out, myself.

Have you tried running your stuff with the sda disconnected and then plugging it back in afterwards

For measurements, yes always so the SDA doesn’t do something weird. I have also listened both ways but enjoy mainly with SDA on.

-8db on C70 bass tone control fixed it some

Maybe just run one competent amplifier to them instead of trying to biamp them. Simplify. Less is more.

I was just about to ask the same. I noticed in your signature @mpitogo that you have MA5200 and MC452 via a Sublimeacoustic K231 cross over. Why not just try the C70 and MC452?

I've tried it, it's a bit too warm for my liking. The MC452 is a balanced differential on the output so it's missing half of the output needed for SDA.

I've been contemplating Parasound JC5. I think it's single ended output. What do you recommend?

Clipdat

A21+ maybe.

Actually, I think I'm all set now. I took @VR3 's advise and integrated a sub. While the response is not ruler flat, I think it's much more balanced now. It did lose that punch down low (since it was boosted) the benefit is its not as boomy and has a bit of low end extension.

Clipdat

Well there you go. Sometimes it's just as easy as adding one, two, or twelve subs.

Or 16, isn't that called a swarm? A swarm of subwoofers
