Back in the day I was trying to figure out how to come up with $12k, because I thought I needed a Theta Digital setup. This was before HDMI was a required technology. I was so close to buying their $3500 DVD player, but at the last minute I found they didn't design it, but it was instead a Pioneer with some upgraded components. So I ended up saving $2500 and buying the region-free modded player I still have in my sig. Theta has still held a fascination to me. They skirt the line between snake oil, and making use of every possible minuscule audio improving technology. They'll talk about Litz wire, skin effect, and fully differential designs in one breath, but tell customers to not use aftermarket power cables (unless they are UL rated and can safely deliver 15 amps), or conditioners because they more than likely will current-limit. They were actually bought by ATI at one point. Here's a quick blog post which sums up their situation as of February 2009: http://pqltd.blogspot.com/2009/02/rip-theta-digital.html Unfortunately, nothing had changed by the July update, and still nothing has changed today. They're promising a Blu-ray player for Q4 2009 (that's now), which has a feature set, and back panel which looks suspiciously like the Oppo BDP-83. And their HDMI input to their pre/pro is still being held off until Q1 2010.

While a one-box receiver setup is one way to go, I'm not sure if it would be better or cheaper than a separate subwoofer EQ system like the SMS-1 or that newfangled SVS thing, or even a BFD.
One thing about the Y-adapter scenario is that it will drop the voltage sent to each subwoofer, which may or may not be an issue relative to auto-power-on-sensing.

In the last few years, the integration of the consumer electronics industry has been quite profound. In addition to buying Theta Digital and essentially shutting it down, if you weren't already aware, for quite some time now ATI has been making most of the power amps for "Outlaw". It makes you wonder what their marketing plan is since I don't see their own product available to any degree and even when it was it was highly overpriced.
