Conflicting Crossover Info

[Bathawk]

I have a Sony SA-VS310 speaker system. The manual recommends setting the crossover frequency at 90Hz for the front, center, and surround speakers. However, those speakers have a frequency range of 130Hz to 70,000Hz. The subwoofer’s range is 30Hz to 200Hz. Isn’t 90Hz too low? Should I set the speakers above 130Hz?

Looking at the "operating instructions" I don't see that suggestion. Yeah, a higher crossover would likely be better, and likely higher than 130 but then the sub may not mesh well either. Just better to look for better speaker/sub set.

Thanks for the response. Here’s a

screenshot of the operating manual. What do you think?

Oh it does say that, but without an explanation....or just suggesting that with this combo it's the best combination of potential issues ? Hard to know. Kinda like Bose with gaps between their "bass modules" and sat speakers. Just better alternatives than these "kits"

Yep. I agree. Thanks!
