WimpMiester Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've had these original Quintets for years and they've been goodexcept some moves, two I remember recently are "Takers" and"Sherlock Holmes", seem to have a hole in the sound wherevery low sounding voice seem to be indiscernible or so low you can'thear it. So I was wondering what the specifications were on thesespeakers and if there are any recommendations for helping out the lowspeech issue?

derrickdj1 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Little more info please. Is the problem with TV, BD or netflix. What type of Quintets a you running and with what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimpMiester Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've been able to play with the settings and it seems that that these speakers have a crossover of 82Hz. The system has been set at 80Hz all these years so I'm guessing the crossover is suppose to be 80Hz. But since I can't find the spec's I printed out years ago I don't know for sure. Seems newer movies are using the full sound range now, where before they didn't. Older stuff still sounds goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hay there, I used to own the Quintet II 5.0 system so I'm sure the specs would be very similar. The cross over is way higher then 80Hz. The mains cut off at 100Hz and the center at 110Hz. I can't see there being much of a difference between the Quintet 1 and Quintet 2, they both used a 3.5 driver and are almost the same size. I would adjust your cross over to 110-120 if possible on your receiver that should help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimpMiester Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 The only settings the yamaha offer are 70-90 with 90 being the default. Couldn't do 110-120 if I wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about setting your sub to 120Hz and keeping the Quintets set at 90Hz? Don't know if that will work or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimpMiester Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 That would never work because the receiver wont send anything to the sub that’s over the crossover setting. All this isn't necessary anyway. Setting the crossover to 82Hz seems to have fix the voice issue I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
