Center Speaker Crossover Setting...?

[jswanson]

Just completed my bedroom set up... keeping it simple.

I have a question though... I just have a center and fronts hooked up through my Onkyo 605....again, just keeping it simple and have no plans for a sub or surrounds. I've got the fronts set at "Full Band". What should I set the center to...? I'm a little lost on the whole crossover thing... Should I set the center at full band as well...? or something different...? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Bedroom Set Up:

Samsung 32" 720p
Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-Ray Player
Onkyo SR-605 Receiver
Polk Audio CS10 Center
Polk Audio TSi100 Fronts

My question for you is this. Why do you need a crossover anyway if you don't plan on adding a subwoofer? Your CS 10 and TSi100s are very well matched and have similar specs and performance.

Moreover, if I recall correctly from my former Onkyo 805, that your 605 will force you to set the TSi100s to large when no subwoofer is specified.

Thus you have two choices the way I see it: Set your center to large or small. If you set it to small with an 80 Hz crossover for instance, the redirected bass will go to the TSi100s. But that won't do much good really.

In your case, I think it would be best just to set the center to large. In other words, there is really no need for a crossover.

that's cool... just trying to get the most out of 3 speakers, especially the center.. I'm going by the options I have available via my speaker config in the 605. When turning the sub option off, it sets the fronts automatically to full band (which I'm guessing translates into "Large") with no other option...while leaving the option for setting the center any where from 80hz-200hz or full band.
