Unfortunately the 800As don't have any volume control, but I'll get them matched anyway.

This way, your naturally low-end deprived monitors will maintain their natural rolloff leaving you with the ability to rely less on the sub.
Sounds cool, but the 2 pairs of monitors are completely different rolloffs, so this won't work.

Thanks again, guys. I think I'll get it done thanks to your help.

Cheers,
