Do I Need Bass Management ?

[bullitt731]

I am putting together the following 5 channel HT system. Based on several threads that I have read I may need a DVD player with some type of base management features.

Fronts-Signature 805s
Center-HTM2
Rears-SCM1s or DS7s not sure, any advice?
Sub-Velodyne F100 (10" servo) will upgrade at some point
Receiver RSX1056
Amp for front channels-RB1080

Looks like a Denon 2900 may be a good fit here, you can still find a slightly used unit for around $400 to $500, any other suggestions? I am not really worried about upgradeability at this time. I plan on getting all new electronics in a couple years.

Thanks, Ed

The only reaon your DVD player will need bass management is for DVD-A and SACD. Otherwise the 1056 will take care of any other formats bass management Most current universal DVD players (including Denon players) will have adequate bass and delay options for DVD-A/SACD.
