Although I realize crossover settings sometimes boil down to personal preference, I would still enjoy garnering any informed opinions to act as a jump off point.
To start, I have a Denon AVR-2807 for my receiver. My HT system is setup for 5.1 with Def Tech SM350s for my 2 fronts, a Def Tech C/L/R 2002 for my center, Def Tech BP2Xs for my 2 surrounds, and a Def Tech ProSub 1000 for my subwoofer. I hope that information is helpful. If not I can provide more.
So, first off, I know that the option of setting your speakers to "Large" or "Small" is a key factor in how your crossover will be handled. My speakers handle low end frequencies well, making the "Large" setting an option, but what do you suggest for getting the best crossover out of my system as a whole?
Second, the frequency response is 26Hz - 30kHz for my SM350s with a suggested A/V Receiver Crossover Setting of 60Hz, 30Hz - 30kHz for my C/L/R 2002 with a suggested A/V Receiver Crossover Setting of 60Hz, and 45Hz - 30kHz for my BP2Xs with a suggested A/V Reciver Crossover Setting of 80Hz. Meanwhile, my ProSub 1000 has a frequency response of 18Hz - 150Hz. With all that in mind, do you agree with these suggested crossovers, and would you imagine that they pertain more appropriately to "Large" or "Small" speaker settings? If you do not agree, would you happen to have any cursory suggestions on what crossovers to start with?
In any case, does anyone have any suggestions for how I might initially set the crossover for the subwoofer in order to get the best sound?
Once again, I know a lot of this is opinion, but I am new to this and would just love to set a frame of reference. Also, sorry for the loaded question, but I hope it makes sense, and I would greatly appreciate any advice you might have.
Thank you so very much in advance.
