Hi all,
I recently bought a Yamaha R-S700 receiver to use with a set of PSB Image B5 speakers that I had been using with a 2ch TV setup. The PSB's are better than the speakers I current have in the listening room but don't have much for lows so I wanted to get a sub.
If the Yamaha manual says that the sub out starts attenuating at 90hz and the speakers don't dig deeper than 50hz, am I dealing with an overlap or a gap when the sub's LPF is set at 50?
Basically, is a sub a good option with these speakers? The listening environment is set up well for bookshelves and a sub and I don't really have space for towers. My plan is to eventually upgrade the bookshelves and move these back to the TV.
If it does make sense, does it also make sense to bi-wire the speakers? I want the fullest sound possible, but I've read the benefit can be negligible.
Any info or links would be much appreciated. I'm sure this one gets asked a lot, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how the sub works with a hard cutoff at 90. Thanks!
