Crossover frequency


I am trying to set my system up for maximum benefit. I recently purchased a pair of B&W signature 805 and am using a hsu vtf 2 sub. I can set my meridian processor for any crossover but am not sure of the best. I use 80 for HT per thx, but feel my speakers could go lower for stereo.

Thanks,

JWH

If your 805s go down to say 50hz in room -3db, then you shd X them over below that freq, about 40-45hz. There will be some overlap between the sats and the sub. The idea is to find the right spot so that these's a smooth transition between both spks.

I'd recommend you play various types of music, pop, rock, classical, jazz and tune the Xover till you can listen to any type of music without having to adjust it.

The sub should not draw attention to itself.
