MLP…?
Does this configuration look right?
LFEs cables plugged in are.
My -center and towers. The towers are connected to a way splitter.

now… if I switch my settings to no subs. Then it will automatically default my fronts to large and I can’t change them.
But the center channel does have the LFE 8inch bass radiator on top of it. The towers have two 10inch bass radiators as well.

Look at your amp assign mode, you are in 9.1, is that the right one? The speaker setup looks fine as you assigned front heights.

That would work, too. I wouldn't bother with the avr bi-amping thing tho.

No, thats with "biamp", I think 9.1 is fine as long as you only have 1 sub and set the channels not used to "none"

It's still 7.1, you don't have to use the amp terminals assigned for "bi-amping"

Off topic a little bit. But I have the opportunity to buy a supercube 2000 for like 200.00.
Thoughts??

Can't imagine paying for a DefTec sub like that So what's the sub budget?

 

[Aaron Kwekel]

No more than 400.00

Tough price point maybe stretch it a bit, this would probably be the least I'd go for for the money https://rslspeakers.com/speedwoofer10s-mkii/

Another random question. I have the denon avr-x3700H. Which is rated at 105w per channel. Obviously that being measured at only two channels driven.
If I were to get the Emotiva basx 3 amp. Which is rated at 140W per channel. Would I see a big difference in loudness when using my current setup and speakers.

That would be a 1.2 dB spl advantage, which isn't a lot (takes a doubling of power just to get 3dB). If going external amp I'd get one more in the 200-300wpc range....

I think the towers are rated for 300w and the center channel 150 I do believe…

Speaker ratings don't mean a lot, more likely just a warning limit as to when the speakers will develop problems. No problem using an amp rated higher than your speakers....just use common sense with the volume knob and you'll stay out of trouble. Drunken parties, best to set a volume limit on the avr up front
