    What model receiver do you have? I don't see a problem with your settings but you should experiment with the settings to see what you like. Have you calibrated you speakers? Did you use a SPL meter?

    Good Luck,

    Yes they are. get a SPL meter and then you will truly dial in your system. Set them all to full and try the sub at 100 then try it at 80 and see how you like it for both music and HT. Thanks devani, I was looking at the speakers and missed the Onkyo.

    set all speakers to full so no cut off frequencies?

    then just mess with the sub setting?
