      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.

      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?

      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.

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