Thanks for the feedback maphiker. Yes, it appears that I was confusing two separate problems I'm experiencing in my system. The line bending appears to be a calibration issue with the tv itself - whether or not something is causing drift over time is unclear, but I'm now confident that the sub has been far enough away to not be the root cause. I had assumed that it might be as I have also experienced noticeable distortion of the video picture on my crt when the sub kicks in, and having ruled out cable issues, it appears to be a problem with my outlaw pre/pro.
