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

Try cutting one octave lower -- i.e. 40Hz. Listen carefully. Sound should be "fuller" but realistic and nothing should be bigger than life, i.e. a cello should NOT sound like a double bass, a viola like a cello, etc. If it's too light sounding, go up by 1/10 octave until you get it right. If the opposite, go down by 1/10 octave.

Do you know how sharp the Meridian x-over is? It might help.
