Thanks guys! I do have a lo-pass crossover and a volume knob. I don't know what I was seeing cause it is just one of those weeks and it is only Wednesday. I will turn the crossover to out and set the speakers to small (they sure look small for big speakers haha). I have a monster cable wire and a Y adptor for the left and right in. sorry i do knot know what the model number is right now. My sub is 12 feet from my speakers/receiver and in a corner next to my bed. It is a tight spot but it is the only place i could put it. Thanks for all of your help guys.

so would the way i have it setup now which is the speakers r set 2 large, the low-pass crossover is at 120hZ, the crossover is at 50hZ. or could i turn the crossover to out and have the speakers on large, would that effect any of the sound. my lfe level is at 0, which is the same as my sub level.

boa, yes i do.

boa, on the high-pass switch I have it set to 80. On the lo-pass knob i have it all the way to 120hZ. I have the phase switch to 0. The crossover is at 50hZ. The speakers are set to large. And the sub is hooked up on the sub pre-out on the receiver. The FREQUENCY RESPONSE is 34Hz-20kHz±3dB for the KLF-20's. I guess what I was trying to ask is what would be the proper way to have the sub blend in with the mains using the crossover and all of that other stuff i mentioned above.

WOW, thanks for the replys. I was doing some listening to some dvd's with my mains set to large, I was using the sub pre-out on the receiver, i was using the crossover of the sub at 50hZ, and the high-pass crossover at 120hZ. It sounded like a theater using the sub with the lfe channel. Is this the proper way to have the KLF-20's hooked up to the veoldyne cht-120.

boa, my crossover on my veol is set at 50hZ, the speakers r set 2 large, and the low-pass crossover is set to the max @ 120hz, just to clear up what I confused u with. Also I do not listen to 2 channel music, I like the dolby prologic mode or the rock arena for that. Thanks 4 your help.

boa. I have my sub hooked up using the pre-out on the receiver in the line in on the sub. yes my sub dose have a crossover in/out. "& i'd switch the low pass crossover on the sub out or turn it all the way up to the highest freq. otherwise no matter whether u set large or small, or fronts+sub or lfe only, u'll be cutting lfe which only goes to the sub. lfe is speced to go up to 120hz." I just turned up the lo pass crossover to the highest level of 120hZ. My speakers are set to large and the crossover is at 50hZ.

boa. I might just set the speakers to large and use the veol's crossover at 50 to get that theater like sound while watching movies. When I do that should I set the highpass at 100 or 80, and the phase at 0 or 180. I currently have the HighPass at 80 and the Phase at 0 Sorry I don't understand the highpass or the phase. Then when I listen to music I can set the speakers to small and use the crossover of the receiver. I will test music to see if I like having the speakers on large or not. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply guys. The way I have it set now is using the crossover of the sub at 50hz and setting the speakers to large. The thing I like about this is that it sounded like movie theater sound to me. It sounded like the sub was just used for the LFE, which I enjoyed. When I used the internal crossover of the receiver and had the speakers on small, the bass sounded lower and cleaner which I liked on most of my cd's. The vocals were cleaner, even though I am using the phantom mode for the center information. So I am gonna just switch it back tomorrow the way I had it before. Another quick question: When I use the internal crossover of the receiver should I do any thing with the Highpass which has a selection at 100 or 80, and the phase which has a selection of 0/180?

Hi All! I have a Denon 2801, the Klipsch KLF-20's as my main speakers and a Velodyne CT-120 as the sub. What I am wondering is if I should have my speakers set to "lagre" and use the crossover of the sub. Or should I set the speakers to "small" and use the internal crossover of the reciever which is 80Hz. If I do use the crossover of the sub where shoud I set it at. I am curently setting the speakers as "large" and I have the crossover of the sub at 50, which P Ward recomendded I should do to " having the KLF's going as low as possible helps the stereo image and intergaration with the sub." Your comments will be greatly appricitiated.

Hey Paul. I did some more listening and I like the lower cleaner bass the sub was putting out. But u never know I might like it the way u told me to blend the klf's with the sub. I guess I am not use to it but ya never know Patrick

Hey Paul I set my speakers to large, set the dub mode on the Denon to LFE, and set the corssover on the sub to 50. Somethings I noticed while watching the attack of Pearl Harbor is that when something blows up u feel it. Low plane engenie (SP) noises are more in the main speakers then in the sub, which is more like it would sound in the theater I think. I am gonna test it out more tomorrow and see how I like it. montigue I can't wait till I get my center and rears this summer. Then I will have a blast.

Thanks for the info Paul. I will play with the sub tomorrow setting it at 50 and setting the speakers to large. I would love to do it right now but everyone is sleeping :-(. I will let you know how it goes. That is sad if your wife could tell the plot of Pearl Harbor at the end of the movie when she didn't watch the begenning. I am gonna get the KLF-C7 sometime this summer cause I have to save up for a car. I hope I can still get it. Well thanks for the reply and take care.

I have been a Klipsch fan for four years now. I currently have the KLF-20 speakers hooked up to the Denon 2801. I really love these babys which can play loud and clean. I really want to find the matching KSP-S6 for the surrounds but havent done that yet. The sub I am using with the speakers is the Velodyne CT-120. I use the crossover in the receiver which is set at 80hZ for the bass to the sub. I was watching Pearl Harbr attack the other day and it was awesome. Well I just wanted to say hi.
