Sub and LFE settings on Surround Processor
Ken you should run your Revel mains full range for music. If you can control the slope of the roll off for the low frequencies [6db 12db 18db 24db] then you set the slope at the slowest setting provided. 6db being slower than 12db etc. Usually the...

Need a Basic Education on the LP12

Used Vidikron 2C...Should I or shouldn't I?
