Hey gang -


In continuation of my most recent thread, I splurged and picked up the Denon AVR887. Phenomonal receiver. I do have one question. What do you usually keep the crossover setting on the receiver at? Leave it at 80Hz, 60Hz? Is lower/higher better? Thanks gang!

    If you buy into the whole THX thing then the crossovers should be at 80hz but you should do your own testing to find what you like best, some folks have there x-overs set as low as 40hz other with them set as high as 120hz it all depends on what you like, I have mine set at 80hz not because of THX but thats where my sub and mains seem to blend the best.
