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.

That is very enlightening and informative John.
"Larry, a few more comments would be that rather than being a weak link, your Onkyo receiver is the strongest link next to your M22s. There's no magic in a "dedicated" two-channel unit and two channels of a a multi-channel receiver are just as audibly clean. Furthermore, there's no good reason to be "wasting" the extra amp channels; as was said, assuming that the speakers are available, two-channel music material can be played with a little more realism when the ambience naturally present(to varying degrees)in two-channel material is extracted from the front channels by processing such as DPLII and sent to the surrounds where it belongs."

That scenario would fit nicely into my 'budget' requirements.
"You may want to bump "user interface" up on your list. I have no experience with the Outlaw (I'm sure it's fine), but have doubts that it or the Rotel are worth a significant premium over similar units from other manufacturers like Denon, HK, Onkyo, etc."
