Interesting. Makes enough sense Gary, thank you. A pleasure speaking with you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow! Thank you again for all the insight, as you really do not have to do any of this for me. You are very kind. I am starting to understand now the whole bold and conservative formulation along with what HZ you can actually dial in based on your reciever by rounding up etc. I recall you mentioned speakers have to be small as well in the setup due to that has always been the best way to set particular crossovers. I am curious now with all this said, do you think the auto mic setup is good at doing this stuff for you at all? I know the mic is good as determining distances and volume more or less etc and at times it is pretty decent with crossovers too like a hit or miss scenario. I just fear not having things set correctly for them if I was to fully trust the auto setup understandably so. With all of the speakers being taken care of thanks you to Gary, I am wondering now with the whole bass thing. Mine is basically beside the speakers a little to the left of them like this image here from Klipsch website. More or less my setup will look exactly like this minus the big room and a wider furniture stand. I know the sub has volume dials and crossovers etc / auto on off and the usual phase. Once more online I have seen numerous posts suggesting leave the volume in the middle, the crossover dial maxed, and then run the setup. What are your thoughts for that? I personally have not been confident the auto mic setup is good at determining the right setting for subs at all. I really appreciate your time here! Your helping me a great deal my friend.

Garyrc thank you for your time and energy to helping me out, I apologize again for being out of the loop with speakers and crossovers. I would have hoped the auto calibration would take care of everything for me but is it trust worthy when said and done? Can you set it and forget it? I am not to sure. Anyway with that said I have to ask you Garyrc, how do you know based off the specs for each model on what to set the crossovers to? What is the math behind that because for an example the towers say 38Hz - 21kHz +/- 3dB. How would one arrive to the 80hz suggestion from the lowest they go being a 38hz? This is where I get lost with speakers. I have seen many people online for Home Theater say set your hz from the lowest your speakers go up by 10 or 20. So, for me in my head the lowest says 38hz for the towers right? If it is then the math would be from there normally 38+10hz increase =48hz crossover and a 38+20hz increase=58hz crossover. If it is not too much trouble, I would appreciate if you can help me understand how you reached the said crossovers on each model listed below based off of their specs. I need to know the actual math formula involved as it clearly escapes my comprehension. I have listed them for you convenience. R620F Towers 38Hz - 21kHz +/- 3dB R41SA Atmos Conforms to Dolby Atmos Specifications? R41M Bookshelfs 68Hz - 21kHz +/- 3dB R34C Center. 82Hz - 21kHz +/- 3dB R100SW Subwoofer. 32 Hz - 120 Hz +/- 3 dB Thank you again Garyrc, I really appreciate it my friend. -Nick

Hey everyone, I have a few questions and need help as I really do not know how to set up my speakers correctly with my Onkyo. Can someone tell me which crossovers my speakers should be set to and also perhaps educate me as to how you came to that recommendation? I am having a hard time figuring this out and equally having difficulty interpreting the specs on each speakers manual. These are my speakers listed below which are being paired to my Onkyo TX-NR656 Klipsch R620F Towers Klipsch R41SA (pair) - Dolby Atmos for Towers addon Klipsch R41M Bookshelf Speakers for Rear Surrounds Klipsch R34C Center Channel Klipsch R-100SW Subwoofer I am sorry for sounding inexperienced as speakers and av are not that easy to fully understand with so many variables. I always used to use the auto mic calibration and then set speakers to small in the past along with the whole just use 80hz for crossovers via the THX recommendations online. With that all being said, how do you set them up? Thank you for your help and time. ~Nick

Right. The NR656 dropped Audyssey from what I remembered but more or less it the same junk when said and done. You said it best, it’s all up to us and our ears / particular room setup. Thanks again Bill, great feedback. Thank you for your time once again my friend!

Okay Bill, so based off of what my particular set models are what should I do then? I realize autosetup is never perfect but nothing is in life including manual methods as well. Everyone’s ears are different and all rooms are as we all know. I did notice that the towers and Center channels are woofers as you mentioned including whichever other speaker too that I have. Does this mean the rule of 80hz is out the door then? Do you have any idea why it was ever suggested to just set everything to 80hz and speakers to small? Appreciate your efforts here with me! Nick

Hi Bill, thank you so much for the vote of confidence. I am sure you can understand how confusing speakers and receivers are for many people and I am still to this day trying to figure them out after many years. I wanted to ask if you have any recommendations for what to setup the speakers as in the GUI of the Onkyo as I will use the autosetup with some manual adjustments. I am not too sure but I hear a good rule of thumb is to use them all as small and set to 80hz including dialing the sub to 80hz as well? Thank you for your time Bill, and by the way, really cool to see your in Kissimmee/Saint Cloud as my family frequently visits Florida and is our second home. Nick

Hey everyone, first time posting to the Forum and brand new Klipsch owner of the Reference Series. I hope your all doing well out there. I wanted to ask your opinion of the Onkyo TX-NR656 receiver and the speakers I have put together listed below and if they would match well with my particular model. Here are the speakers: Klipsch R620F Towers + Klipsch R41SA add-on’s for Dolby Atmos Klipsch R41M Bookshelf Speakers for Rear Surrounds Klipsch R34C Center Channel Klipsch R-100SW Subwoofer I was trying to aim for the 100 Watt range and 8 Ohms to give me more breathing room with the NR656. With that said, I look forward to your feedback and anything I should be looking out for including settings with my said receiver and or future receivers to get for them if the Onkyo is not good enough. Hope to hear from you all soon. Thank you for your time!
