Hi guys,

Short time lurker, first time poster.


I was just looking to get some advice on what to set the crossover to for my set up. I have a denon 1604 a/v receiver matched with Mission 701's and a Paradigm CC-170 center channel and a velodyne CT-150 sub. The denon lets me set the cross-over @80hz-100hz-120hz-150hz. I've set all speakers to small and was just curious on what I should set this to. Room is basically a shoe box 12'x15' with the sub tucked away in the corner.


ATM I have it set to 80hz but I'm having the hardest time to balance the sub to the mains/center, with sub always sounding too prominent or too quite.

I mostly watch movies, but I am also an avid music listener. Moreover I prefer the lower octaves to slightly over-pronounce themselves, if you understand my liking.

I know my set-up is not exactly 'high-end' maybe even a little laughable, but it sounds nice (aside from the bass-management issue). So should I just keep moving my sub around the room(maybe closer to the mains?) or up the cross-over?


As you can see I'm kind of a newbie to this bass management thingy, this is my first home theatre receiver. Any help or response would be greatly appreicated.

Gracias
