  1. My apologies for the Necrobump, but there seems to be some good ideas here. Let me throw in a monkey wrench. My main speakers are EV Sentry III (15", Max 50W, 3-way, bi-amp, normally 3dB down at 40Hz but can be stepped down to 28). The AVR (on its way) is a Sony STR-DH550. The sub is a Klipsch KSW-200. I plan on listening to music as much as movies and would like to have the sub active during music. I've read that setting speakers to large (there is no "massive" or "huge" setting!) would prevent sub use during most music since the front speakers can handle nearly as low as the sub (lower with the step-down kit, but not as tight or clean). I could set them to small and roll off some of the lower bass to the sub, which is likely good for these aging beasts. The monkey wrench option is to set them small and use both sub outputs to my H/K stereo amp and run the EV's in bi-amp mode. This would use the "pass-through" mode of the sub. The AVR would see stereo subs. Proper setting of the crossover on the sub to get this right might be tough and the AVR's crossover for the fronts would need to be very high. Is it worth trying? It would be a lot of setup. Anyone try anything like this?
