I've spent most of my life in southern climates too, but spent a summer in central Wisconsin. My son was 4 at the time, and they actually had to heat the water at an outdoor water park in the middle of August or it was too cold for the kids to swim in. And not knocking WI....summers are awesome there, they just don't last very long.

Yes, we like the cooler version of Mediterranean climate for everyday living. Edinburgh summers were awesome for light. But I also love cold weather, something I didn't grow up with.
The only tools I've done that level of damage (different types) with were skis. And the recovery time was comparable to what expects you. But we were having fun...
Where I went (and this is true luxury) there was a pizza food truck that came to each dorm in turn, long before food trucks became the thing they are now.
I think it was Suicide Sub, ftw!
Thanks. I still miss it. I took a BMW R18 for a test ride today, and it had everything including cruise control and heated grips. But it buzzed instead of vibrated, lurched side to side instead of back and forth, and left me with a sore back and cramped hips. Plus, it didn't handle, not nimble at all. Gobs of torque and broad power band, with six speeds, but it did not get me interested.

This is why cold pizza was invented. Saves time and zero cleanup. Unless you can't finish it. That's tomorrow's cold pizza problem. And simple solution.
Oh crap. I didn't know there were others with the 'impatient driving disorder' like me. I am willing to do just about anything for an extra 3 seconds on the road!
I would see this as a downstream device, following the pre-amp and adding capability to the system, rather than as a potential desktop/gaming dac/pre-amp, TV add on etc, as per the Syn in it's current incarnation.
For me it would be same size as Freya/Kara (and Lokius Max for that matter) and be something like...
- Balanced & SE out in/out for FL & FR but with SE out for all channels as well for some flexibility. (I don't see the need for balanced for the derived center and surround channels)
- a balanced to the sub(s)? Maybe.
- Remote for all controls
- no main attenuation control needed as that comes from the pre (but that might limit the market?)
- add sub level instead of main level (again pre-amp controls the level)
- "PureSchiit" pass through mode for "purist" 2 ch
- "VariSchiit" variable high pass / crossover for mains to sub(s). Analog bass mgt (My big Tannoys are fine, but would be great to limit low end to the L&R if I want some smaller speakers)
- stereo L+R sub? (maybe!) …2.1 or 2.2 mode
- a few presets a 'la Lokius Max
- no dac needed (for me)
- no HP amp needed (for me)
