Man I spent a couple of hours last night trying to find out if the sub was simply a self powered sub or if it would also power the two satellites. Everywhere I looked the specs were either ambiguous or missing altogether. One listing showed only one output at line level. Another showed speaker output, but it was on the cheaper 6" Velodyne. Found the image of the rear of the sub, but it was reduced in size and the labeling was unreadable.

I'm really considering upgrading the 2/1 setup on the main TV sometime early next year. While the Altec Lansing 6021 is crisp and clean in the mid to high range at most any volume, the bottom is a bit muddy. But, my biggest complaint is poor equalization with adjustments only for treble and bass in large step digital increments. This leads to an inability to compensate correctly for the TV's legacy bias toward the high end. At the most naturally sounding setting, I find it difficult to understand what some women are saying. I think it's a characteristic of the tinnitus masking the higher frequencies just enough to make it difficult to pick up on their enunciations. I can hear them speaking. Just can't tell what they are saying.

As I was reading reviews of the Velodyne subs, I noticed mention of a microphone set up device for balancing the output to the room. Can you fill me in on that?

I take it from your post that the Denon AVR-2807 is not necessary for a 2/1 setup? So, if I bought a Velodyne powered sub and a pair of Paradigms, I'd be able to replace the Altec Lansing 6021 on the LR TV? Does it have or need any equalization?
