Ok, I really couldn't figure out how to word the ****le (apparently some sort of content filter takes the t1t out of t1tle, so that looks weird...) of this without it turning out goofy, which I think it did ... anyway, my question is in regards to DVD-A/SACD playback with the 422s. I realize that they aren't the ideal speakers for this, and I bought them primarily for movie/HDTV viewing with the possibility of listening to some 5.1 audio. I've been looking into DVD-A/SACD players and the best out there appear to be Denon (specifically the DVD-1920 or 2200), EXCEPT that they have a fixed cutoff of 80Hz for the bass management, meaning that everything below that point gets routed to the subs and everything above goes to the satellites (I'm sure I didn't have to define that for everyone, but I figured I might as well). From what I've read the 422 sats don't do well with anything under 100Hz, so is this basically a dealbreaker? Will I be ruining my speakers if I allow the 80-100Hz range to pass through to them? I realize that I'll basically be missing that range, since it won't go to the Sub, which sucks, but the options aren't very good. Other options appear to be Pioneer, which has a 100Hz fixed cutoff, but I hear their bass management just flat out doesn't work with some discs ... and Yamaha is the best of all with adjustable cutoff from 80-140Hz (in increments of 20), but it only works on SACD, not DVD-A! Exhausted from reading this yet? I've become exhausted reading about all of this! This dual format business is madenning, but the fact of the matter is that some of the stuff I want is on SACD and some on DVD-A ... isn't the record industry a ***? I hope HD-DVD doesn't go this same route...
So basically my question is whether this will be very detrimental in terms of speaker life & sound reproduction? Does anyone have any good recommendations for a reasonably (<$500) priced dual-format player with good bass management that will pair well with the 420s? I'm no audiophile, but I do think I'll appreciate DVD-A/SACD, if only mostly for their 5.1 sound... Thanks!
(one final PS - my receiver, the Panasonic SA-XR55 specifically disables bass management for the 6 channel input, so that isn't an option unfortunately)
