Thanks, and makes sense. Do you know what the low pass of the LFE would be? Because I don't see any mention of it in the manual. It's an old processor.

I may be a complete idiot, but looking at the manual I don't see any mention of the LFE low pass filter. There is a low-pass for the subwoofer from 40 Hz - 200 Hz but that does not affect the LFE according to the manual. So if all speakers are selected as Large, what would the LFE be low-passed...

Sorry just to add : if I select all speakers as Large then the subwoofer will ONLY handle the LFE channel? So there will be no low pass filtering going on besides the LPF on the subwoofer preout, which is 120 Hz in most cases?

If I had to set front speakers to Large and all other speakers to Small (let's say 60 Hz) would the subwoofer low-pass still be set for speakers set to Small, at 60 Hz? Or does it only apply if all speakers are set to Small? Thanks.

I'm just asking for help so I can understand my processors settings. What is the problem? If you don't want to help then don't post, simple as that. :rolleyes: I'm aware of the "Small/Large" debate. I am trying to understand how the processor is functioning with Large and the low-pass filters to...

Thanks for the comments. I was hoping someone could work out for me on this Rotel processor (RSP-1065). If you select Large speakers can you select a subwoofer low pass? Its a little confusing for me. Here is pdf : http://www.rotel.com/content/manuals/rsp1068.pdf

I'm trying to help my friend out, but I'm having difficulty understanding how he has set up his system. He has a Rotel RSP-1065 processor and has run all speakers as large apparently. He told me that the subwoofer lpf has been set to 40 Hz with all speakers set to Large. At the back of his...

Just wanted to ask a question. If you have set all speakers to Large in a HT system there is no crossover involved. So if you are using a subwoofer and the LPF is between 70 Hz - 180 Hz, if you select 70 Hz would that be the best option using this configuration?

Hi sky, The RTI-A9's have a 90 dB sensitivity while the RTI-A3 has a 89 dB sensitivity. The RTI-A9 is a MUCH larger speaker with 3 x 7" woofers per speaker. So it has much more firepower. My question is, if the same tweeter was used, does that mean the tweeters power handling is the same? I see...

My room is 5 x 6. I sit 3 meters from the speakers. Here are my speakers : RTiA3 - Bookshelf | Polk Audio® If I were to upgrade and get these : RTiA9 - Floorstanding | Polk Audio® Would they be better equipped to handle the high volumes? I ask because the tweeter is the same, so I don't...

Hi everyone, Today I was playing some music at quite a loud level, not sure what the dB reading was, but it was loud. I have Polk RTI-A3 speakers and an Onkyo 515. It is 130 watts 6 ohms. I heard a weird sound coming from the tweeter, it sounded like heavy distortion and I turned it down...

I don't really understand the Audioholics article on slew rate.:( Can anyone explain it to a laymen? So slew rate does not determine amplifier speed? It's just an audiophile term or does it have real relevance in amp design?

Correct me if I'm wrong but there is nothing in an amplifier or in the design of an amplifier that can cause a faster signal or anything like that? It sounds a little preposterous just thinking about it but I'm no amplifier designer. I don't know why people think one amplifier can operate...

I've heard people saying that amplifiers are "fast". Some amplifiers have a faster sound than others. I'm assuming that's a load of bollocks?

Give up??? With what?

Thanks for showing the tests. Although he'll probably just say the measurements don't tell the whole story with real speaker loads, as opposed to resistive loads which are more predictable?

So what does that mean now? Stereo amps do outperform AVR's in some aspects?

He keeps on about the power supply sections. Saying the power supplies in an entry-level stereo amp like a NAD is much better than an entry-level receiver like, for instance, an Onkyo, as the Onkyo needs to has cater for 5 channels. :confused:

In fact, this is what he said : "if you want surround, then stick with your avr. but my conviction is that your front speakers can benefit from a decent amplifier that you can connect to your pre out. but if you want decent stereo and do not want to rely on the little opamp based preamp in...

So if I select direct mode then it's basically a stereo preamp? Nothing else would affect the sound compared to a stereo amp - ie there isn't anything specific to a receiver that would affect things?
