New to Home Audio...Need Help

I've recently gained an interest in putting together a home audio system. Up until now, I've been a car audio person.
My question is...do the home audio receivers allow you to set all of the crossovers for each set of speakers manually like a digital signal processor would do in car audio? I am not looking to do surround sound, but I may want to add several speakers for a stereo setup. I would basically want to set the crossover points for each tweeter, mid, and sub electronically (high pass, band pass, low pass). Thanks for any help you can give.

Most receivers allow for a low cut-off but that is to the entire speaker, not just the driver or tweeter. Home audio speakers have built in crossovers that control the frequencies to the driver/tweeter.

My advice is to not over complicate things. A simple 2 loudspeaker configuration is really the best way to enjoy the music. -

I as well would not bother with a crossover system in the home. if you are adding a subwoofer, then typically you may be able to control the low pass from the sub's end, but 2 channel is the best

Forget everything you learned in car audio, you're stepping up to the big time now. AVR's are for HT, integrated's or separates are what you want for 2 channel. Your idea of having multiple speakers for 2 channel is a bad one, get one pair of very good speakers instead.Political Correctness'.........defined

Amen. 'Nuff said.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~
