So there's two options, really? One is to simply boost the amount of bass in the existing curve or swap another filter set.

For me, the HT effects are less important than the sound quality, so perhaps the same shaped curve "turned up" might be good. My processor can have different sub boost and crossover settings for music vs. cinema for example.

I'll try both and see what I like more. Thanks
Two options? ****, there are 12*12 options for what the DSP1124 can do (if you cascade the channels).

But in general, yes- for critical listening, most people want a flat response all the way across. For HT, you want the house curve for that 'HT' sound.

I don't think there's a need to do different outputs from your receiver since the DSP1124 can do that for you by selecting a different filterset. The only thing you might use those settings for is to tweak the crossover point if your main speakers are higher quality than the sub for LF (or vice-versa) and you don't need the house curve. I think this could also be accomplished by the filter set in BFD.

But, it is really up to you- if you lika the big bass mon, turn it up! ;-)
