Re: BFD Input Level?


Yes, I have a Yamaha RX1200 AVR--which is great, but I don't like being stuck with only a 90hz x-over for the LFE! I'm also suspect of the 80 wpc when driving all channels--my Dahlquists are rated up to 250wpc and I don't think I'm giving them enough stuff to sing like they should.

So, I guess I spaced/didn't know there was an LFE trim in the Speaker setup menu with all the other channel stuff. I just worked through the menu and found the #10 menu (if I recall correctly) that is called LFE level.

I'll look more closely at the earlier menus to see what you mean. Maybe that's the difference with my needing to use the +4 on the BFD instead of the usual/preferred -10.

I appreciate the demo insights also--I'll check those out soon.

Thanks for that help!

PS I'll also check out the noise floor as per Bruce's directions--I think I missed that in his earlier post.

Much obliged...

Now about that projector...
