It's truly pathetic that in this day and age, and at these price points, that the new BD players, Pio 05/51, Panny BD50 (don't know about the Sony 550- I suspect the same) do not have selectable XO's, and have lousy distance options.
In essence- lousy Bass management.
There are no excuses, this has been done well for years, but they refuse to include it for $5-800.
For 800 you can't get decent BM options? What?
Way too many folks are still using great analog gear at this time for them to disregard these features.
This is THE reason I don't have a BD player yet, I refuse to pay outrageous prices for things that should be included at reasonable prices, and I bet there are many folks like myself that are just waiting to spend $ on a format that refuses to give the customer what they want.
I spend alot more $ on stuff like this than the average Joe.
I just don't get it.
