I'm thinking that the Blue Sky BMC MKIII would be a good way to go for bass management and level calibration. I like the idea of keeping the signal path analog after the XMON, since XMON is analog out only. On the other hand, using the BLU 160 or similar digital device does give you the ability to do any processing you need.

Any thoughts on the Blue Sky BMC vs a digital box like the BSS? Any downside to the Blue Sky, other than no speaker delay feature?

Waves 360 imager will bass manage. The summer bass managed signal is just lowered 10dB to offset the +10 life calibration.

My subwoofer (jbl lsr6312) does my bass managing currently tho.
