Hey Guys and Girls

Just ordered a L400 centre to go with my R700's and was wondering anyone who had one what X Over setting they where running it at? Full range? 40khz? 60khz?

    80 Hz with dual SVS SB2000 subwoofers and a Parasound A32 amp. The other components, and even the size of the room, matter as much as the center speaker. It's all about blending all the components together to produce the best sound in the room.

    The only right answer is what sounds best in the system. 60 Hz may be better for some speakers in some systems. As big as it is the L400 has a -3dB point of 55 Hz which isn't as good as some large bookshelf speakers. It's likely the L400 will sound best with the crossover at 80 Hz.

    Sounds like a converted garage... mine is 19’6” by 15 feet just to around the dreaded square. I have a 5’ deep closet behind my gear.

    A converted garage is exactly what it is.
