CarlV Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 I currently have a Denon 3801 and KLF30s with 2 pair quintets for surrounds and an Infinity SSW 212 sub(300 watts). My question is should I set the sub/LFE setting on the Denon to SUB + mains or just sub only. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 CarlV - Like most things audio, I find experimentation works best. Your 30's can certainly handle bass. The best setting is the one that sounds best to you in your environment. Sometimes sub+front enhances the bass, sometimes it cancels it. It really depends on your room and your listening tastes. I don't think there is one right answer. Let your ears decide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duner Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 CarlV - How do the quintets do as surrounds for such big front speakers? I'm planning on a setup similar with maybe the new RF-5's when they come out and quintets for rears because of space constraints, I'm in an apt. I will also add a 12 or 15" sub. Just curious how the effects sound and if the large fronts overpower your rears, thanks. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMIN Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 I don't have quintets but I do have KLF 30's in front and KSF S5's for one set of rears and I have to set the rear volume up to +6 to +7 DB for them to keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlV Posted February 8, 2001 Author Share Posted February 8, 2001 The quintets actually pack a punch for their size, especially if your room isn't too big, mine is 13'x14'. I would defiantly recommend them if you have a good subwoofer to compliment them. I also had to raise their levels up about +5 or +6.

duner Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 Yeah my rooms is about that if not smaller, that sounds like what I'll go with. The RS-3's look would just look way to big hanging from the wall. not too mention the quintets can be had for much cheaper. I just hope the black quintets don't look too tacky with my new maple blonde rf-5's and my sub, when I get them that is, hehe =) Cheers steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
