I have a Denon AVR-2113 network receiver and a pair of floodstanding loudspeakers Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 who have a crossover frequency 140Hz:2.2 khz and i don't know the correct frequency to put in to the configuration of the audio in the receiver. I'm :confused: about the theme crossover. Who help's me?

I can't find an FR graph, but the wharfedale website says that the speakers are -6db at 30Hz. I'm guessing a cross of 80-120. I would play with it to see which creates the most seamless transition to whatever subs you are using. It's impossible to know for sure without seeing an frequency response graph, so just play with it a little.

Do you have a sub to cross over to? If so what is the make and model so that we can determine what the best crossover point would be.

I tried 3 different Fmods when I was crossing over my WH\harfedale evo2-40's...
First 80-12db, which sounded good but seamed like they were still getting more bass than I wanted and it was noticeable at higher levels, so I went to 100hz and it sounded better, my subs are crossed at 85hz... I then tried 120 since 100 sounded better than 80 , but it was too much and after having them in there for a couple days I noticed certain songs seemed to sound different than I remembered, so I put the 100's back in and went back and forth a few times, the 100's were the right choice...

So If you cross your subs at 80-85 try 100, if you cross your sub lower try 80...
