Yep. I like Gwen...and her music . Just 'cause I'm approaching old fart territory doesn't mean that I don't like to jiggle my junk now and then .

I thought you were going to get the big eD , although I am tempted to try their smaller ones, maybe the A5-700, but with fuel prices going way up, shipping things back is getting pricy even for me.

Any other choice music that you'd care to recommend? That whole album is very good IMHO, though it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Despite the vulgarity of some of the lyrics, the rhythm of some of the tunes is awesome. Track 7, "Crazy B*tch" is an absolutely fantastic tune for people who listen to music while exercising... great 'pump you up' tune.

Have you guys listened to the PC-Ultra cylindrical version of the PB-13 ultra? I do like the space saving profile of it better, but I'm curious if anyone has heard it and has opinions on its performance.

So here's the deal with Buckcherry's Next to You on my systems. On my audiobytes and Sony sub through my laptop: definite, pleasing, unbloated thump right in the centre image with EQ off. I can essentially point ot the thump's image. I can accentuate this by bumping up my 31Hz or 62Hz setting in WMP (but not both concurrently because it sounds too bloated). It sounds great when I boost the 62Hz setting to max . On my main system: no thump at all at my normal sub volume. When I increase the Denon's LFE volume, I hear the bass but it's at a lower frequency that through the above system. Rather than a thump at a precisely-located centre image, I get deep, transparent bass all around the room with a wide bass image up front. From my live listening experience, this is what the bass is supposed to sound like but again, this is not what I prefer. Now if I turn the LFE up even further and set my Denon's cut-off to 40Hz (from the normal 60Hz), I hear a nicely defined thump at the centre image along with some of that other transparent bass that I talked about earlier. I prefer the 40Hz setting on this piece. I have my 600's cross-over set to 60Hz normally. FYI, I have waffled between 40Hz and 60Hz cross-overs for music. I've stuck with 60Hz but sometimes (as in this case), 40Hz sounds better. By the way, this whole album is highly compressed. Good tunes though .

One other idea... what if you hook the laptop to one of the Denon's inputs and change the EQ settings in WMP as well? Maybe that on top of the XO settings and LFE bump will get you even closer? Curiosity overwhelms me!
