Thank you for the reply Tony. Yes, you remembered correctly. The HT is upstairs in an open loft. I'll try the sub upstairs and see how that goes. And thanks for clarification on the output and the pre-out vrs speaker out. That all makes sense.

The Ultra sounds like a dandy. A little too much money though, but It's deffinately on my short list. Just hurts a little to pay as much for a sub as my main speakers.
