213runnin Does the Outlaws bass management work both to limit low frequencies to sub and also so only those above go to mains?
Yes, it crosses over the mains as well as the sub. Being that you've got bookshelf speakers(albeit very good bass response for a standmount), having a sub is essential to hearing anything below about 40 hz. I happen to have a HSU sub in my 2 channel rig as well as one in the theater, they are superb at their price points.
To me the best thing about the P5 pre from Parasound was it had this sub crossover feature. It was the best blending of my Totem Rainmakers that I'd heard.
I don't mean to try to push the Outlaw on you, just that it's good to know all of the pros and cons of any option before you decide.
