One other question I had was:

With the ICBM unit between the DVD player and receiver everyone speaks of using it mostly when playing an SACD or DVD-A. Wouldn't it also benefit when watching a regular movie (DTS or DD) through the 6 channel analog connections instead of the single digital link since this would send the same crossover signals to all your speakers as well. Wouldn't this be preferred because of this reason?

Thanks again for any input..
