Quenten Posted February 18, 2001 Share Posted February 18, 2001 Try setting your mains to large, set your LFE to both, set the subs frequency responce to 120. Sit back while someone switches the phase for you & see which sounds better. Also move it around. I like mine in the back corner of the room right reside the cough. Small sub closer to me!

BobG2 Posted February 18, 2001 Share Posted February 18, 2001 Since the Quintets have high pass crossover built into them, they can be run "large" without overdriving them with LF information. Setting is purely a trial and error proposition. There really is no way to advise what is the 'right' setting. In the process of listening and adjusting till you get it right, you will educate your ear and become a more skilled user as well. It's all part of the fun. You can't hurt anything.

boa12 Posted February 18, 2001 Share Posted February 18, 2001 how is your ksw connected to the sony? i have the str-de935 w/ the sub connected to the sub outs. i don't use the crossover on the sub as the sub outs are already filtered low pass @ 80hz. i think the 945 has the same bass mgmt as mine. in that case definitely set the fronts to large & use the sub out w/ a Y-connect to your ksw. then the sony sends low bass to both the sub & fronts for music (cds). for a dvd w/ lfe, it sends that only to the sub (w/ sub-yes, it will not send it to the fronts even if set to large - these sony have no front+sub or both bass output settings like the denons & such (which sucks)). so for movie dvds u may try turning up the ksw's crossover above the 80 hz cut-off point (or like all the way to 120). for music it may sound better turned down some to like 80hz or lower to better blend w/ your fronts set to large. ------------------ RF-3 (front), RC-3, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub Monsterbass 400 sub cables & Monster Z-12 wire Sony de935 a/v receiver Sony DVP-C650D dvdp Sony Trinitron 27" tv Technics dual cassette deck Technics direct drive turntable Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box rock on!
