@atmasphere I see the advantages to separates. Interesting that you point out about the speaker cable length. Unfortunately I don't really have a room that would work in...maybe one day!
I understand what you're saying about tone controls, I hope that while auditioning I don't miss them and can eventually dismiss them. But my current setup only sounds good when I use them. Not that it sounds bad without them, but they bring so much life to the music.
The Loki tone control I'm considering does have a relay controlled bypass, so it is a true bypass. At least it's got that going for it :)
