floor standing speakers for surrounds?
OK, those 804S are rated -3db at 38hz, but they are likely only flat down to 55hz or so. So, I would definitely cross them over to sub at 60 or 80hz. 
floor standing speakers for surrounds?
"what cross over would you recommend? i am speaking for my fronts.... i was told to cross over at 80 so the rest goes to the sub.... so am i missing some good sounds from my fronts as well?"What are your front speakers? How deep do they go? 80 hz ... 
floor standing speakers for surrounds?
Yes, a full range signal goes to the surround speakers. I am using PSB Image 5T towers for my surrounds, and running the surrounds full range. I really love hearing deep bass sounds coming from them in movies. There are a lot of scenes in which th... 
why use towers if you've got a sub??
Well, this is one area I am in the minority, but I like big speakers for my front L/R. I've noticed that in a lot of action movies there is prodigious deep bass in the front channels, and that, contrary to the conventional wisdom about bass being ... 
Noob Help on Home Theater Set Up
Honestly, unless you are wanting to blow down your walls, I don't see why you need separates. The reason is that your Definitive speakers are pretty efficient, at 91 to 92dB. Plus, each of your BP 7004, as well as your 2300, has its own sub built ...

speaker cables for Wilson Sophia
I don't have a Spectral amp, but apparently blew out my McCormak DNA-1 with some Goertz cables. The amp is currently in for repairs, unfortunately. So, I would advise caution. 
Phantom center channel volume
Chad, even if there is no actual center speaker, I can see how one might want to control the volume level of the content of the center channel signal, even if it is being reproduced via the front L/R speakers. 
Differences between SR Tesla and Supra Sword
I'd also like some feedback, as I have read good things about the Supra Sword. 
Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system
OK, so I've had the Monitor Audio Silver 9i for three months now, driving them with my Yamaha RX-V1800 receiver. For the first couple months, I was largely underwhelmed. They just did not seem to have much in the way of dynamics or bass. It now se... 
Frustrated with the sound of my system
Oh, and be sure to install the Zobel networks if you try the Goertz cables. 
Frustrated with the sound of my system
Over the years, I have posted several questions about possible things I might be able to do to improve my sound quality. Some questions were about speakers, some about amps, and so on. On almost every thread, advice was strongly given to treat the...
