Set-up Receiver VSX-AX4Sis, Speakers KEF, iQ9 front, iQ6c centre, iQ3 back,
KEF PSW3500 Woofer
Question with a normal stereo CD music, or TV broadcast and the receiver in stereo mode will the subwoofer Become active. Or do I have to switch to 5.1 mode
Hope this makes sense
Kind regards

Just a quick question. Audyssey stress to set speakers and cross overs to 80 hz, as do most manufacturers and people like dolby and THX etc etc. Onkyo on the other hand almost always have their amps set speakers to full range if they are fairly capable. I have actually found that I prefer them set to full range, especially musically and films sound just as good as they ever did.
I'm not sure exactly how the Onkyo is implementing the cross over and LFE in their amps, but perhaps they have speakers et to full range because of the way they do certain things within the processing.
Ive found that set to large, the speakers feel much more weighty, but non of that LFE seems to disappear. Everything integrates audibly just as well to my ears, although leaving them large does result in an ever so slightly less flat graph response. Like I say though Ive found I actually prefer this less flat graph when listening to material. Having speakers set to large just seems to be a less controlled or clinical way of processing sound, but it does seem to have more feeling in it for me.
I'm wandering what anyones thoughts on this are, perhaps something to do with some kind of house curve, but surely Multi EQ XT is doing anything with regards to this.
I'm interested to see what response I get.
do av-receiver use digital crossovers?
dante01, you might consider this is a big ask as I don't have frequency info here with me at work.
I have a Sony Strada 2400
with Eltax Floorstanders (for front left & right) and a 5.1 package (see below) completing the 7.1 soundstage.
Are there any settings you'd recommend?
Thanks in advance
I'd recommend you wait until you get home and look on the back of your speakers or do as I'd have to do for you and try find the frequency range of the speakers online
Apparently, the Eltax floorstanders are 45-20,000Hz and the Tannoy (centre and sats) are 140Hz - 78KHz
The Tannoy sub goes from 45Hz - 140Hz
Waddya reckon fella?
ok, i was feeling ok about my setup till i read this thread.
Would someone please give these settings a once over, and is there anything i would gain from changing the x-over frequencies.
here goes,
Onkyo 605 Amp,
Mission 773 floorstanders : recommended 25-100 Watt (bi-wired) 50-20,000 hertz.
Mission 77ds sorrounds : recommended 20-75 Watt, 80-20,000 hertz
Mission 77c centre : recommended 25-100 Watt, 65-20-000 hertz
generic subwoofer : only 40W with variable bass cross over point, apparently.
Now audysey automatically gave the following setup:
Subwoofer : yes
Front : Full band
Centre: full band
Surround : 80Hz
lpf to lfe : 100 HZ
Double bass : On
i was thinking of changing to the following settings:
Subwoofer : yes
Front : 100Hz
Centre: 100Hz
Surround: 80Hz
Lpf to LFE : Havent got a clue!
Double bass : On (i'm hoping this will accomodate for crappy subwoofer till i get a better one)
Thanks to any advice,
Hi Gents
i would like to ask you a question.
what do you thing about to do crossover and bi-amping together? does it make any sens? is it point to do that with this setup?
I just wonder if HK 355 and b&w 685 will sound good together?
i just bought HK and its on the way
and one more thing...
would you please help me with frequencies for my speakers.
as i see you are the brain here.
spec for my front speakers:
Description 2-way vented-box system
Drive units 1x ø25mm (1 in) aluminium dome high-frequency
1x ø165mm (6.5 in) woven Kevlar® cone bass / midrange
Frequency range -6dB at 42Hz and 50kHz
Frequency response 49Hz - 22kHz ±3dB on reference axis
Sensitivity 88dB spl (2.83V, 1m)
Harmonic distortion 2nd and 3rd harmonics (90dB, 1m)
<1% 100Hz - 22kHz
<0.5% 150Hz - 20kHz
Nominal impedance 8Ω (minimum 3.7Ω
Crossover frequency 4kHz
Crossover filters 1st Order – tweeter
1st Order – bass/midrange
for center speaker:
freq 80 Hz to 25 kHz
sensetivity 86 dB/2.83V/m
for surround:
freq 100 Hz to 25 kHz
for Sub:
freq 30 Hz to 200 Hz
Surround and center speakers are just simple satellites speakers from yamaha NS-P110 5.1
i'm not expecting too much from them. its just a matter of time when i gonna change them. but it would be nice to set them up.
many thanks
chris

cheers for that mate
do you think that i'm losing with the old yamaha 5.1 speakers?
i would like to setup 7.1 for the tv and movies and playing ps3.
for music i gonna use 2.1 (B&W + yamaha sub)
if i want to change my yamaha sub on to B&W asw608 or asw610, which would be good enough?
if i have a cm7's as a fornt and 685's as a surround is crossover gonna change?
I'd still try to keep the crossovers around the 80Hz mark, maybe slightly lower for the front pair, but not so low as to make those speakers dominate the room.

one more question:
if i have to set up speakers as a large or small what i should choose?
i know that it does affect in some ways.
many thanks
