After reading a lot of posts recently about Crossover frequencies I thought it was time to review mine as I have a Denon 3802 receiver and the KEF eggs for about a year now and have not amended them much since.
I want to ensure I am getting the best possible sound out so I need to ask several quick questions
I have set speakers sizes to small on the amp and the sub to On.
I have changed the Denons crossover to 120hz and moved the subs crossover to a fully clockwise position.
My question is if the Denon is routing all the frequencies below 120hz to the sub why does the sub have its own crossover? I understand if you were to use the high level inputs etc and connect speakers directly to the sub this would be the way you would control the sub. Is this crossover effectively redundant when using an amp/receivers own crossover setting?
Secondly can anyone recommend a good balance for this setup? I know that this can be down to person choice but if anyone could give an indication as to how it will affect the sound would be most appreciated.
Thanks
