RE: ... including listening to the RELs at a local store, I decided against making the switch ...

Wise move - IMO the SVSs will deliver a better sound.

Just be aware that while the DBX will enable you to decide which is the best frequency for your 1.7s to hand over to the subs ... it does degrade the sound slightly (as you say, it's a 'pro' unit). But I understand there are people who can upgrade them to "hifi" quality.

Also ... you said you are trying XO frequencies of between 45Hz and 70Hz. (24dB L-R HP & LP.) Can I suggest the frequency should be set towards the higher end of this range - since the 1.7s are probably already a few dB down at 45Hz.

My sub/bass panel XO frequency (also 24dB L-R HP & LP) is currently set to 80Hz. I started with 100Hz and may go lower than 80Hz.
