OK, got a question and lost my first graph so I cannot show you. I have a Denon AVR890 and SS 18.2. I was having some grief trying to get REW working, think my skills or lack there of and hardware were giving me some inaccurate measurements.
So, I downloaded a test tones cd and played 15-120hz at -15 on my avr and took measurements with my radio shack meter and plugged them into excel. I had noticed a fairly steep drop off of like -15db at 80hz. I have all of my speakers set to small and crossed over at 80hz. My LFE channel is crossed at 120hz.
Would moving my speaker crossover up to say 100 or even 120 force my AVR to send more of the content to the LFE channel which would go to my SS and move that top end roll off up to 100 or 120? I know I can obviously play with it, but playing test tones and recording db with a meter sucks.
Just trying to get a better handle on what my AVR is doing. I could dig up my ghetto graph with those measurements, but then I have to tear my laptop apart and put my old hard drive back in and I'm more interested in the "how" on this question.
I am very happy with my purchase, just trying to learn more about it and then start messing around with the eq on the amp, but after reading that manual and messing with it a little bit I can hear the changes it makes, but it's back at 0 for now. Definitely no shortage of headroom below 80hz right now!
Thanks!
