PSW450 hookup to new receiver (HK AVR130)

LoboTiger

I just upgraded my receiver from the Technics SA-DX940 to the Harman Kardon AVR130. I've currently got my PSW450 hooked up via the method where the outs from the receiver main speakers are fed into the sw and then from the sw they go to the left & right mains. The reason I originally did this was because I wanted to take advantage of the crossover feature on the sw as it went well below 100hz that my old receiver was capable of.

My new receiver on the other hand has the capability to do the crossover at 80 and even 60. That being the case should I perhaps change the connections and use just the LFE port on the receiver & sw or leave the existing setup the way it is? The one main benefit from using the LFEs is a cleaner looking setup instead of all the speaker wires I have running.

Any thoughts?

Welcome,
Either way is fine of course. My preference is to let the receiver do the bass management. That is a nice receiver, what are your other speakers?

I thought my signature would show up by now but I guess it hasn't. I have them listed below.

So you prefer the receiver to do the bass management eh?

Yes, because it's cleaner looking and I use an EQ on my sub so I need the line level input.
