[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 45692, member: 693"] Change the low pass filter frequency to it's maximum value. Have you tried setting the speakers to 'small' ? It might be a good idea to experiment. From a technical perspective when speakers are set to 'small' they operate in a far more linear portion of their range as they aren't burdened in reproducing deep bass which the subwoofer should be more than qualified to handle. Speakers set to 'large' that are not capable will not only operate in nonlinear territory which results in distortion but also will truncate the bass they can't reproduce which means you end up missing out on that bass -- bass that could have been reproduced by the subwoofer. My speakers have extension down to 30 Hz but still sound cleaner when set to 'small' with a 60 Hz crossover point. As an added bonus the receiver will be less stressed. BTW, are you only using two floor standing speakers with a sub ? Any center or surround speakers in the mix ? Try setting speakers to 'small', experiment with crossover settings. You might find you really like the end results. Would you be able to move the speakers out of the corner ? A simple SPL meter usually is a very good starting point for balancing speaker/subwoofer levels. They cost in the region of around R350-500. Regards, [/QUOTE]
