yah i've thought about that, but it's a lot of cables and adapters that i'd prefer to not have to deal with, not to mention not driving the genelecs to spec. my music preferences are not that bass heavy. also i'm moving twice (or three times, i'm not even sure yet) over the next 3 months. if my new space allows me to get optimal wall spacing, i know from my ideal listening room tests that i won't even need a sub. i'd rather put the money into a second sub for the living room system for stereo low end. this is is my work desk system.
