Hi all. New here but have been watching videos from Gene for a few years now and have some general questions to see if anyone can help on a few things or give some ideas.
Currently running the following set up:
Marantz SR6015
Def Tech BP9020 front towers
Def Tech DM20 center
Def Tech SR8040BP side surrounds
Def Tech ProMonitor 1000 back surrounds
Def Tech DI 5.5BPS in wall Atmos (mid of room)
2x Klipsch Synergy Sub-12 subwoofers
I've ran Audyssey and been dialing in my settings and so far am pretty happy running things as follows:
LFE+Main
L/R Bypass (seems to open up the powered towers for better full range sound)
Front Large...All rest small.
Fronts 110hz
Center 90hz
Surrounds 110hz
Rear Surrounds 100hz
Atmos (top middle) 60 hz
Subs LFE +Main, 120 hz
The question I have is.. within my recent adjustments, I started playing with the crossovers on the speakers. Initially, I had all at 80 hz, going to the "THX recommended" though Audyssey initially had them different. I've now moved the center, surrounds, and back surrounds to where Audyssey initially set them, as seen above.
However, one thing I noticed as I started playing with the front crossovers is if I went down in the hz, bass got less... in range and loudness. And if I started going above 80hz, I seemed to get more even sounding bass across the spectrum, with music especially....as in, hearing a more even sound between the kick of a drum vs low notes of a bass guitar vs mid and high notes of a bass guitar. 110hz seems to be the sweet spot without getting too much vocal going into the subs too...but I am curious why going up in the front crossover Hz had this effect. And is that OK?
Anyone that's experimented with this, would be neat to see others perspectives and outcomes....or any knowledge. This is in a great room with a one side vaulted ceiling (low right, high left in seated position)....45 degree lean. Going from 8 foot on right to around 23 ft in the left.)
