Hi all, been away from the forums for year's as I didn't have space for an AV system. Just getting back in to it all now.
Have currently got a Sony STR-DA1200ES receiver, Sony SA-VE835ED speakers and a BK monolith.
Just have a few questions regarding the monolith. I have set all my speakers to small and the sub crossover level on the amp to 120hz and all speaker levels to 0.
On the sub I have the crossover to LFE phase at 0 and low level input at 9oclock. It integrates quite well. Would it be better to have the sub level higher and then adjust the level using the receiver settings to give more head room? And what is a good starting point for the crossover level on the receiver?
Also waiting for an SPL meter to arrive, should I set all speaker levels with the volume at 0dB or can this be done at any level.
Thanks in advance, trying to get the most from the subwoofer with out annoying neighbours too much.
