Subwoofer xover settings for KEF LS50W (orig model)


Yes I did search and did not see much. I figures others have done this so I'd simply ask as see if anyoen has advice. The LS50W go quite a bit lower than the regular LS50s so I'm thinking of setting the low pass xover at maybe 50hz. But I can high pass as well thru the KEFs. So I figured I'd ask here what other have done with these active speakers in terms of a low and high pass settings. Looks like KEF defaults to just a low pass 80hz which seems high. 

Also I plan to use the sub settings via the KEP app but could obviously do much of this via the REL B1 sub as well. Thx

yep. I use 80Hz for my mid-fi (2 way bookshelves with 5 inch woofers....not LS50x) and it soounds pretty great at 80Hz. I sometimes cross at 100Hz but that sound quality is very dependent on the music...
i run all program to my sub which paasses everything above 80Hz to the bookshelf speakers which are run full range
