Dang it...just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in....

Can anyone confirm that this AVR has the ability to set different crossovers for your speakers? (fronts vs. rears vs. center)

[GlocksRock]

That is the one thing I really dislike about Yamaha receivers, you can't set separate crossover points for the different speaker positions... that and the small volume display.

[ParadigmDawg]

They didnt add that to the new series?

I don't know... I haven't seen one in person yet.

There's no indication that they can be set separately in the owner's manual.

Oh, I just hate that!

Even a $400 HK receiver gives you independent crossovers for Front L+R, Center, Side Surround L+R, Rear Surround L+R, and Subwoofer!

So on a Yamaha receiver (at least the "older" ones), you can just set ONE crossover that is applied to every single speaker?

There is no such thing as perfect, is there?

Please...Just wait for the new Emotiva Pre-Pro ($600), will you?

Oh, I forgot. You only have 3 channels of amp in your MPS-1.

In that case, order 4 more MPS modules ($200 x 4 = $800).

I doubt it. Heck it took them years of me grilling them to even offer variable crossover points as they were fixed on 90Hz for a long time.

Be careful with this feature however as most don't correctly recombine info back to the sub so if you set the mains to 60Hz and surrounds to 90Hz, chances are bass below 90Hz wont recombine to the sub from the surrounds. This is why I always recommend keeping your crossover points either all fixed at 80Hz or within 20Hz of each other.

Word. That was one of the things that I didn't like about my Yamaha that I bought in 1997.
