quints Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hello Everyone. This is my first post. I am the proud second owner of a lovely set of Klipsch quintet II speaks. I really enjoy them alot. I may have a problem, though. The quints' frequency response starts at 100 Hz. But my RX-V495 has a set LFE cutoff of only 90 Hz. What would you do?

toddvj Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The crossover doesn't go any higher than 90? If not, that's probably ok anyway. It's not as if the quintets simply stop producing sound when it drops down below 100Hz, they just don't play as loud at say, 90Hz. Likewise, setting the LFE crossover at 90 doesn't mean that the sub doesn't get any sounds above 90Hz, it just means that the sound starts "rolling off" above 90Hz. Plus the sub still gets any sound encoded for the LFE channel, which could be well above 90Hz--just remember to set the crossover on the receiver, not the sub. From personal experience, even when using small speakers, the sound isn't as good if you set the x-over on the receiver too high. You are probably better off leaving it at 90, even if you can set it higher. Best bet is to experiment with it, and see what sounds best to you.

quints Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thank you. That settles my mind considerably. Although this unit has no adjustment for the LFE output, beside the sound level, it sounds as though I don't really need one in this situation.
