It's really not bad in our primary listening seats so I live with the weird boomy spots in other areas. I don't remember offhand what the crossover is set at, but the built in subs in the 965's are spec'd lower than the sub I'm currently using by a few Hz. I'm hoping that there being two of them and not trapped under the table they'll give us better results.

The LCRs are all 3.5 inch mid-range speakers so they won't be much use down low. I would think the built in subs will add a lot of oomph to your system. The sub in the corner is getting all the boundary gain effect it can use now so if it sounds good I would leave it until you can get the new speakers into the system and check out some good LFE movies. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

Owl's_Warder Desperado Registered: 06/29/01 Posts: 894 Loc: Grants Pass, OR	Thanks for all the help, guys. I got the new speakers in place and redid the SPL levels on everything. I still need to play a bit more with the crossovers and sub levels but it already sounds fantastic. Huge improvement! I'll probably mess around with the settings some more tonite. The wife enjoys the end results but the "noise" from doing all the set up stuff can be obnoxious to her so I try to do that sort of thing while she's out.
