Speaker Distances/Cross Over Freq. - Blu-ray Forum

horror4life245 · 02-20-2010, 07:08 PM

Hey guys. What should I set my crossover to for my speakers in specific?

MartinLogan Encore TF Center Speaker
Energy Conossieur C-2 Front Speakers
Energy XL-S8 Subwoofer
Def Tech ProMonitor 800 Rear Speakers

I have all speakers at 80 Hz, except the center speaker is at 90 Hz.
Is there anything I could improve on?
My sound was PERFECT two days ago, but I had to redo the settings since I just got my rear speakers and had to do the configuration again.
Please someone help? Would be VERY much appreciated.

This is all hooked to a Denon 1910 7.1 Channel Receiver by the way.

Look for reviews of your main speakers and check if they have the frequency response chart for them. Look at what range they start dropping from a flat response. I cross my speakers over at 60 Hz. 80 Hz is the standard THX recommendation, but that figure does not make sense for all situations and equipment.

I don't know how to read these charts, but here is the link to my front speakers for charts:

I can't find it for my MartinLogan Encore TF Center Speaker.
For my Def Tech ProMonitor 800 Rear Speakers, I can only find Frequency Response: 57 Hz - 30 Hz and A/V Receiver Crossover Setting: 100 Hz.

Anymore suggesting? Right now they're all set to 80 Hz.

After reading the review and looking at figure 3 of the measurements, your front speakers could be crossed as low as 70 Hz, though 80 Hz would work just as well. Those measurements are really good for the price.

So do you think I should put it down to 70 Hz or leave it at 80 Hz?
How big of a difference would it make?
Turning it to 70 Hz wouldn't blow or hurt the speakers right?

Also, for Bass Setting.
Should I have the subwoofer at LFE or LFE+Main
What does this mean??
