Crossover frequency setting and subwoofer testing

[NelsonC]

I recently purchased a set of Klipsch home theater system as follows:

Front: RB51 II (50Hz - 24kHz)

Centre: RC52 II (67Hz - 24kHz)

Surround: RS41 II (82Hz - 24kHz)

Presence: RB41 II (85Hz - 24kHz)

Subwoofer: SW-110 (28 - 120Hz)

I am using a Denon AVR-3805 receiver, please suggest the best crossover frequency which I should set in the receiver.

BTW, please suggest the ways to test the performance (output and bass) of the subwoofer.

Thanks a lot.

Nelson.

first off welcome to the forums and nice choice of speakers. To answer one of your questions I believe your receiver has an auto setup function so start there and tweak if necessary. THX recommends a crossover setting of 80hz but with your speakers I believe 100hz might better suit them. All of this depends on room size and acoustics. But like I said your auto setup ought to be a pretty good start. Hope that helps. Cheers

Thanks for the advice. As the auto setup doesn't determine automatically the crossover frequency (should be set manually), I will try 100 hz first and see the results.
