Still continuing to play with your system!
Never satisfied, I feel the pain or fun.

I like the idea of the HSU subwoofer.
I notice you have a frequency plot on the flat screen.
Have you been able to get the sub to integrate correctly?

Nice system, quad speakers are very good.

I've just used Dirac IRC for the room correction with sub.
Wow, something everyone should use, especially with subs.
