Hey guys,
I know this subject has been talked about to death in at least one other thread (which I read through completely). I think I understand how the Pioneer 563 does bass management, and now I'm just trying to figure out the best way to get around this ridiculous 200 Hz fixed crossover for DVD-A.
I have a sub that has a range of about 25-150 Hz. My mains go down to about 40 Hz., center and surrounds to about 60 Hz. Here's what I was thinking:
For SACD playback, just set everything to small, sub on. I can live with the 120 Hz crossover.
For DVD-A playback, should I set just my mains to large, or everything to large? I notice that a lot of the multi-channel mixes have bass guitar in the center channel. I guess it comes down to whether I want to miss out on 150-200 Hz or 60 Hz and lower in the center and surrounds.
I didn't hear a big difference between all small and all large on DVD playback, but I will spend a little more time with it this weekend.
I know the real solution is something like the ICBM, but I'm holding off on that.
Thanks in advance.
