I just bought a NAD T742, which has VERY limited bass management capabilities. The crossover frequency is fixed, and appears to be at 100hz.
Anyway... I realize that the HK receivers have far more flexible bass management, but my main question is this... will the bass management run the main speakers high-pass in 2 channel mode? Even with my main speakers set to "small", the NAD plays them full range in stereo mode, which drives me nuts. I don't want my mains and my sub overlapping. I can turn the filter on the sub down to match the natural rolloff of my mains, but I'd prefer to let the sub handle everything from 60 or 80hz and down.
Also, does anybody have listening experience with the HK and NAD receivers? I'm really starting to like how this NAD sounds compared to my Denon 1801 that it replaced, and I'm afraid that going to the HK AVR-325 is going to give me the added bass management, but at the expense of sound quality.
I've got to decide by friday if I'm sending this receiver back.
