Going from memory, I believe on the H/K receivers Direct is tied to Stereo, ie the UI makes it more clear that this is "bypass everything, analog only, no crossovers, no nothing".

Sounds like the Denon makes it less clear that Pure Direct is the antithesis of Bass Management. It's strange -- everything else in their manuals and UI is so clear and intuitive.

EDIT -- Randy, you realize this means you need to re-do some graphs, right ? Will you be able to get the M60s and EP500 back ? I'm sure their new owner would understand that we are all interested in how the 60/500 and 80/600 compare when the crossover is working properly.

I expect this will mean some significant differences in response around the crossover region (80 Hz).
