From what I hear, the PSW10 is a bit weak

what i would appreciate to have for answers is which 'SETTINGS' could help me to be the best configuration with my harman kardon receiver with those speakers...
thank's again

Luce

Thank your for your advisement but for the moment, it is the subwoofer that I have and it's not so bad to listen... maybe i will change it in the future but actually i will keep it

You shoud start with allowing the AVR to run its auto-cal program, think it uses Audessy, and then listen to it a few times to find the weak areas, if any. If you wish to manually set the cross-over freqs, start at 80Hz, and adjust from there.

Luce

Thank your for the info... In the menu config of my Harman Kardon, it could be readed like that?

Somewhere in the menu setting of the receiver you'll find the option to set crossovers for the speakers. Set those to 80HZ which the standard these days. Also most likely the receiver will set your speakers to LARGE or Full Range, change that option to small and let the sub handle all the low bass frequencies. Hope this kind of helps.

Ok... have you seen by photos... it's all i can find in my menu and the other photo is behind my sub-woofer... is it the good?
