I have a Monitor Audio Radius One and Radius 45 surrounds, with a Radius 360 subwoofer. I find that the Radius One is best with around 90-100Hz crossover and the rears at around 150Hz with my current receiver.
I am considering the Yamaha RX-V581 to get Atmos capabilities. But the manual isn't very clear about crossover settings - it seems to imply there is one crossover point which is enabled for all speakers which are configured as "Small". In my case I'd want all speakers set to "Small", with appropriate crossover points. If there is only one crossover point configurable I'd need to set the crossover to 150Hz to not end up with a hole in the rears frequency response, which would be wasteful at the front.
I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR616 which has per-speaker crossover settings, so I can accurately map this setup.
Is the RX-V581 just the wrong receiver for this speaker setup?
(RX-V681 appears to have individual settings listed for each speaker, but I can't easily accommodate the depth).
