Pre/Pro with

Why are the Parsifals supposed to cross over so high? They are pretty full range speakers, afaik. Are you confusing the crossover to the bass modules with the crossover to a real sub?

In general, the crossover to the sub for most processors is much lower. You would also need an additional amp as the sub/lfe output of prepros is line level.

If you are looking to replace the passive crossover in the Parsifals with an electronic one, there are more appropriate units. For example, there's a nice deal on the nht X2 at http://home.comcast.net/~jhidley/ This would give you the frequency you need but you would still need the additional amp.

Frankly, I would leave the Parsifal's as is and add a single competent sub for the bottom end, if you need more grunt.

#1: If the SMS EQs and passes up to 150Hz, this might work. I cannot recall if it does.

#2: I would not invest in an old non-HDMI avr or processor today.

#3: The Audyssey Balanced Processor will not do any bass management or crossovers. It will recommend them but not implement them.

#4: Same as above.

#5: Your problems, your move.

Take a look at the NeptuneEQ. Use only two FR channels now and have the others for the future. One box solution.

"I was advised by the local Audyssey dealer (who sold me the AVR for my HT room) that the Audyssey included x-over capability. Their website isn't clear, but I had a suspicion that it would be clear if the unit actually included x-over."

The SEQ will not set levels, set delays or set crossovers. Those are calculated but must be implemented elsewhere.

Yes but I was suggesting that you use it full range for stereo and leave the passive Verity crossover intact. That way, you also do not need another amp.
