Now THAT'S the info I was jonesin' for. Thanks so much. And thanks everyone for all the info in this thread. I'm going to process it, do some research, and see what I can learn.

And after tonight, I've dispelled (most) all my disbelief that the empeg can do truely great audio. I listened to Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto in G, followed by Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1 with my empeg set to -5db (since any lower and I could barely hear the quiet parts) and it really sounded great, even on my sub-par setup. So, with a few new speakers, maybe a new amp, and that custom fiberglass sub enclosure I've always wanted, I should be set. Thanks again.
