My last comment on the topic.
Dan, Dave has consistently expressed issues with the Dalis lowest octave, so you should be sure that you are satisfied with their performance there as you sort these out in your own system. In my rig, I am satisfied with their bass performance. I also don't recall any professional reviewers having a similar level of dissatisfaction in that area, but I may have missed something.
These speakers, like all speakers, are a balanced compromise. That comprise will never please everyone.
Good luck!
Bob
