ADA has a pre-pro that sports dual crossovers so the speakers can play full range along with the subwoofer. I can imagine this sounds really good but I cant say as I have listened to it before.
I was just curious if any of you have experience with this kind of feature and whether it would be worth paying extra for. Can't imagine why not provided your speakers can take advantage.
The ADA is obviously the dream piece and does it but it'sa $5k receiver. Do you guys know of any other mainstream receivers that will do this? I have seen in setting up some of our usual suspects the choice of "BOTH" in the bass management menu, but whether or not that means it really has it on board/is doing it I don't have a clue and I don't own an oscilloscope and I haven't experimented with my ears and different AVRs.

Most will, when you select "large" when prompted in the speaker set-up menus...

U sure? Anytime I have ever tried to set the fronts to large it completely cuts off the sub. This is something that has always annoyed and confused me.

On the Pioneer Elite you just have to go in and select the plus on the subwoofer in the advanced menu. Denon does this as well, but I forgot what the setting was.

This does work and uses the speakers to the best of their ability, but using the cross over gives you a lot better performance from your amplifier. The engineers at canton explained it to me, every 10 htz you save on the crossover gives you more efficiency on the amp.
I found this when I set up a pair if totem forrests to a pair of parasound amps. At full range the speakers sounded amazing, but at higher spl the system was quicker to distort, when I crossed them at 60 the system could go a lot louder. Besides when you put thousands of dollars of subs into a system, why would you want to ask another speaker to do the sub's job?

Set the Main channels as Large and then LFR + Main. Then set the X-Over accordingly for where the sub should role in at. On February 10, 2012 at 20:15, MacrossZero said...
