where do you cross over your ht setup

I agree with the advantages of running, even "full-range" speakers, as small, easier placement, better dynamics, better bass, etc...

But I find 80hz too high, there is too much info around 80hz that even good subwoofers cant play as well as speakers, and, regardless of what THX and Dolby say, 80hz is still directional, (I have two subs wich minimize that problem), so I use 60hz for all speakers...

I use two REL Strata III and Sonus Faber EAII, believe me, the speakers sound much sharper around 80hz then the subwoofers, thats why I xover at 60hz...

This is not a "cientific" statement, just what I hear...

Well, I dont think two REL Strata III, (they are closed boxes, so should have a reasonable Q, tightness), in a not too large golden ratio room, 15 x 24 x 9, are what you call inadequate subwoofers...

I´ve had the next door neighbour knocking on my door because there was a war going on his living room, I was watching Saving Private Ryan... ;)

Any way, what I really love to listen to properly is music, and I hear mainly the great sound tracks on movie and concert DVDs, the explosions and such are also there, very realistic too, I never fail to be fooled by rain and thunder on movies, always look out the window...

Music is my priority, movies are yours, we are both happy, cheers... :)

Enjoy the hollydays, and have a great 2004...
