Do any receivers in the $1000 range (or any price for that matter) offer flexible crossover settings by Mode...as below:


HT

Mains 60Hz

Center 60Hz

Surrounds 80 Hz


Music

Mains 40Hz

Center 80 Hz

Surrounds 60 Hz


I've seen adjustable crossovers..some by mode...but they do seem ALL-channel based. Not by speaker...


Obvious reason for the question, my fronts can handle SIGNIFICANTLY more bass than the Center/surrounds...

If you've already got a receiver with pre-outs, you could use that as a pre/pro and get a new amp and an ICBM, then you could get exactly the x-over settings you need, and great sound. unfortunately it still wouldn't switch by mode, it's all manual.

I had a Sony TAE9000ES preamp that would do what you want. They are still highly reguarded and can be found for around 700. That leaves you 300 for an amplifier. You should be able to pick something respectable up off of Ebay for that.


I liked that preamp and would recommend it without hesitation,
