Another thanks. I think the Hsu SFT-1 or the Outlaw x sub should be plenty of power and perhaps clean things up just that little bit I am looking for. AND the outlaw comes in that killer white maple that would go with my decor very nicely.

REALLY appreciate the encouragement regarding the Onkyo - I just live in such an audio vaccum that it is so hard to tell what is good and bad relative to my room and set-up.

Perhaps a returnable subby would be in order to see what (if anything) I am missing.
