So I've got a Denon X1100W, Klipsch RF-62ii towers for my L and R, and an Outlaw Ultra X12.
While I mostly watch movies and game, I've been listening to music lately and had a question about what setting I should be using.
I don't have my receiver/remote in front of me at the moment, but I know when listening to two channel music I can use I think it's stereo/auto, Pure, or Pure Direct. Now, from what I understand, Pure gets rid of Audyssey, while Pure direct disables the receiver display to reduce electrical interference? And in stereo it keeps Audyssey settings.
I will need to test this again, but I believe it's in Stereo/auto that the sub remains active. When I put it in Pure or Pure direct I believe it doesn't feed anything to the sub. Which should I be using for listening to two channel music? If you have two decent towers as in my case is the sub supposed to be used? From what I remember last time I listened, it sounded fine with just the towers, but obviously I think the sub is better for lower frequencies.
I have my front speakers set to Small, and the global crossover at 80hz. As for LFE or LFE+Main, I belive it's LFE right now, not sure if that matters or not when you have front speakers at Small.
Guess I'm just wondering if anyone else with a Denon receiver and Towers+sub can help me out. I've never really listened to music with my system/previous setups before so just want to know what people usually set things to or what the correct way to do it is. I've heard that towers don't really matter for movies since you have a sub but if you are going to listen to music you want towers without a doubt, but I guess I'm struggling to see if the sub is supposed to be used in that case.
