was i lacking in sound with just the DP? i am not sure, at times i don't think so, and at times i do wonder.
Hence my intention to try to pasively bi-amp the speakers, using the DP to drive the LF and the Pass to drive the upper ranges.Exciting hobby this. and enjoyable.

Is that your current situation? DP pre-out to the Pass filtering out the lower freq range and DP speaker outs also filtering out high freq range (using the high/low pass feature in Expert Configurator). Really curious about this set up (and whoever else is actually using it in such a way). I have a Luxman 550AX that is currently not being used since I got my 220 Pro CI. But the Luxman is extremely liquid in the midrange and also has the capability of being an amp only as well, in addition to being just a preamp.

I guess with the lockdown in most countries, we all have a little more time to experiment!

at this stage, simply pre outs to the pass.
but once the lockdown is over I will filter the hf to the pass and the LF through the speaker outs, except that the speakers will be passively bi amped.
The Luxman is really a great amp.
try it out.
