Onkyo 906 & mordaunt short mezzo 2, 5, 8, 9

Hi there i have the Onkyo 906 Amplifyer, and the mordaunt short mezzo Range

im useing Mezzo 2 as Back surround Speakers

and the 5 as Center Speaker

the 8's as Front floor standers

and the Mezzo 9 is my sub,

I have had them all for about 6 months now, and getting used to it All, But one of the things i have noticed but never really known what to pop there, is under Speaker Config under my Onkyo 906's setup it lets me set up the "hz" of my speakers now i know what it means, but im not sure what it wants me to pop there as this is my first Proper system, it lets me choose for Each speaker ( or set at least like front back sub Center ect ect.)

it lets me choose from between 40 Hz - 200Hz for each one and under 80 is States (THX) <---- Just like that and then under my frount speakers it also lets me choose FULL RANGE,

Anyone got any idears? i was thinking about digging my Manual out again but not much luck as its in the loft in one of many Boxs D:

any help will be helpfull!

Thanks a lot, and sorry about the Bad Spelling.

Puregreen.

bump! D: any info is better than none, looking at my Speaker Specs it Says they can go at 35Hz - 22kHz So im going to take a guess and Say that i should pick the Lowist number nearist the "35Hz"?

Thanks

Re: Onkyo 906 & mordaunt short mezzo 2, 5, 8, 9

I am using an Onkyo 875 with Kef IQ9s front, IQ1's rear, IQ6 centre and an SVS sub. I set my left and right to 80hz THX, and my centre and rears to 120hz. This way the fronts don't deal with any sub frequencies - nothing below 80hz. I have set the rears and centre to higher so that they only deal with higher frequencies as I didn't want the centre or rears being too bassy. Remember to make sure that the Sub is selected (can't recall if it does it automatically).

Works well for me.
