I will be getting my SVS 20-39cs on Tuesday. I have never heard the SVS so I had to buy it. I was wondering where to crossover my mains for the best benefit. I have a Lexicon DC2 so my my crossover option is 40HZ or leave the mains as large and use the SVS only for surround and rear info and LFE. I was thinking on setting the mains as small with a 40HZ crossover. I will not be taking full advantage of the RT3000 subs, but I imagine the SVS will handle the below 40HZ better than the 3000p subs. Right now, I have the side surround crossover set at 80 HZ and the rears and center (cs1000) at 40 HZ With the Lexicon, all frequencies below the crossover go to the sub. What would you try? Thanks, Jeff

    That looks good to me, with the sub handling 40 Hz and under. What amp are you planning to use for the CS?

    I have an Adcom GFA2 and an Adcom GFA555. I was going to try to GFA2 with 100 watts and then try the 555 bridged at 600 watts. I don't think the GFA2 is powerful enough because it can't be bridged and the 555 bridged is too much power. After I try both, I will probably sell both and find something in between.
