Subwoofer with center channel
@woots I went back through the menu on my Onkyo.  It does have a crossover frequency adjustment for the center channel.  I have it set at 60Hz, so I assume everything below that is going to the subwoofer?  My Sonus Faber center channel speaker is ...

@carlsbad2 I was wondering about that.   
Subwoofer with center channel
I actually have three subs.  Two REL that run in two channel and home theatre.  A third larger SVS sub that is connected to the LFE channel for home theatre only. I was thinking that there was a crossover setting for center channel in my Onkyo su...

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER?
People spend a lot of money on booze, vacations, etc and don't think twice about it.  I bought my first pair of Von Schweikert speakers in 1997 from money I saved by giving up alcohol for 10 years (it was necessary).  People spend $50k on vehicl...

What does your Virtual System page say about you? 
I had to look to see how I had my stuff listed.  Neither source or speakers first.  Amp, preamp, streamer, speakers and the rest is the balance of components and cables.  I guess I view the amp and preamp as the heart of the system.  My speakers ... 
Reference Tracks?
@akg_ca nice songs.  I would have several Dire Straits songs on my list. I especially like Eva Cassidy. I hadn't heard it.   
Reference Tracks?
I’m only going to list one and maybe someone will listen to it. It will appeal to a wide group of tastes. It's good.    Once Blue by the group October Project.   I had a hard time picking a best song from the album.
