Crossover setting for monitor 60's & cs1

[Eduard]

Hi guys! its me again, I just got the speaker yesterday (cs1 & monitor 60's) and I'm setting up everything.

My current equipments:
front: monitor 60's
center: cs1
surround: from rm6750
sub: from rm6750

My current crossover settings:
Subwoofer - yes
Front - 80hz
Center - 80hz
Surround - 120hz
LPF of LFE - 120hz

Any suggestions for best bass management since I don't have a good sub?

Thanks in advance!

First, congrats on the speakers Ed, I think you will be very happy with them. I'm not sure about your surrounds specs, but they might be able to go down to 100Hz, but you are surely safe at 120Hz. Since your sub is limited in how far it can get down, you are fine at 120Hz for the LPF of LFE. You will not really get very good low frequency extension from your sub, so your options are limited. I can't remember, but does your sub have any kind of gain/volume or crossover on the back?

you need new rears & sub

but for the M60s id drop them to 60 or 70hz
the surround & bass you cant really mess with

Yes, there is a volume and low pass at the back of the sub, I did adjust the volume and I put the low pass all the way up to 160.

This is not a bad idea, as you might like what you hear from the 60's. You should still have enough headroom at high volumes and they can do a good job of adding additional low frequencies to your audio, especially since the HTiB sub is such an underperformer. I would stay away from setting the 60's to Large, as they are not really designed to be pushed so hard for low frequencies over an extended period of time.

without a sub there isnt much options besides dropping the M60s hz
