 The 80Hz crossover setting is the standard set by THX. Although this may seem high it is the best compromise as a good sub will easily handle the rest. |
Although I believe in THX, this is one area where I differ from their opinion... I prefer a lower crossover...

I understand your concern for letting the mains do what they can do but this puts more strain on the receivers amp/power supply section and this in turn limits the maximum output the receiver can do for the surrounds.

I don't believe my receiver is being strained, and I certainly have plenty of output room for the surrounds...

Does your receiver not have an independent eq for the mains? You could then just roll off the frequencies below 30hz.

It does, but the characteristic is limited to the point where I don't think this is practical... it's only 3 band, the bass and treble can only adjust levels and cutoffs, (high for the bass, low for the treble) and level and center for the mid, without an adjustment for Q or BW...
