I have onkyo 709 and it set my speakers( 4 towers, center , 2 bookshelf ) to 40hz and my LFE Level(sub?) to 120hz


does that sound off?


my sub is at -9 dbs too but I had it at 86 dbs before it ran so that puts it at 75 dbs i guess


do these settings sound right? I heard someone say that speakers should be 100 and sub under 100hz?

Raise your speaker crossovers to 80hz ... the LFE at 120hz is the factory default setting and should be left as is.


For more info on Audyssey, click on the Audyssey 101 Guide linked in my sig.

thanks!!! NICE POST BTW!!


so ALL speakers to 80 hz and LPF on 120hz


by setting them to 80hz it allows the sub to do the best its suppose too and relieves strain on my towers?

 

[jdsmoothie]

Correct. Also, Audyssey MultEQ XT has 8x more sub filters than speaker filters.

 

[LanceX]

what does that mean?


BTW When im using a dolby Tru HD blu ray and use a THX setting, my reciever is using HD audio and matrixing it to 7.1 right?

 

[jdsmoothie]

It means the sub will be better EQ'd than the speakers and therefore it's better to send the lower frequencies to it rather than the speakers. Also, yes, to your 2nd question.


Also note there is a dedicated thread for Onkyo 709 Owner's ---> http://www.avsforum.com/t/1340545/onkyo-tx-nr709-owners-thread/0_100

you have been amazing



Do you have the 709? I dont see a setting for Large/Small for speakers. or does the crossover settings handle that area

 

[jdsmoothie]

No .. just help out when I can as Denon and Marantz AVRs use Audyssey as well. Note that on the 709 there are no LARGE/SMALL settings rather only FULL Band and a crossover setting, so by setting a crossover, the speaker is by definition set to SMALL.
