Ok, set all speakers to small and sub mode is set to LFE only. Right off the bat I noticed slightly deeper bass. Nothing too significant but definitely a slight difference depending on the source material. It totally makes sense to allow each speaker to accept the signal within it's optimum range and conserve power from the receiver. Wow! Jakewash if you didn't experience a significant increase in SQ when running the A1400 over the 3808 then I doubt I will achieve my goals using a pro amp with output in the 400 watt RMS range. I now feel like I got schooled by my ex-wife in why I shouldn't spend my money on upgrading electronics. This could be a blessing. I think I may just grab the Oppo BDP-83 and a few blu rays. Thanks for setting me strait guys. I appreciate your feedback!
