As a new owner of the 950/7100 I have found this forum to be very helpful in getting my system set up as it is more difficult (Or more choices/flexibility) than my plug in play HK AVR 300. So, here is another question for all you pros out there.
How do I determine what crossover frequency to use to set up my system. I use no sub and have Klipsch KLF 20 as the L/R mains where I derive my serious bass. The KLFs are reported to be plus/minus 3db from 38-20,000Hz. Do I set at 40,60,80,100.
The reason for my question is that with A/B testing between my old HK and the Outlaws the bass seems to be "tighter" with the HK. This is a big disappointment as the HK was a lot cheaper 3 years ago. I am using the same CD player and CD to test this. So, I guess I am questioning the stereo ability of the Outlaws. The HT portion of the Outlaws is wonderful. By the way, I have tried the bypass in the above tests. Am I missing something in the setup or are the Outlaws just average for stereo. Could it be possible that a $400 receiver could beat the Outlaws in this area?
Thanks to all for helping me out with all my questions. Just seeking musical nirvana.
