I just pulled out a old issue of Sound&Vision that reviewed the AV32R. It mentions not being able to set different crossover points for different sets of speakers. For example you cant set your mains up at 50hz, and the rear surrounds at 80hz. Is this still the case, or have there been changes in the software?

Good question Bob. Hopefully Buzz will be over to address that question, unless one of the other guys knows...

Sorry Bob, we haven't implelented more variable crossovers yet. You can futz with the sub x over (50, 80, 120) and address each speaker set individually (mains, vs sides vs rears). But the long rope to get you all screwed up in bass maanagement land has not been added, yet...

Buzz,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not looking for to much in the way of bass management. Just to be able to have my mains roll off at 50hz, and be able to set my rears, and sides at 80hz. What I gather from your response
is that is possible. Correct?Comment

No, there is not that variability in the mains yet.
FWIW, I've found 0 cases where it really helps to set the mains that low. You start getting into room mode problems and obviously there is not much flexibility in placement of the mains.
Plus, it helps to not ask the woofers on the mains to do too much, alleviating LF from them helps clear up the lower/mid bass. I know this goes against the "I paid for my big speakers and I wnat to get the bass I paid for out of them" mentality, but physics overules psyche here.
It is sometimes useful to vary the cutoff for the sub, which is currently supported.

Buzz,
You know that makes perfect sence.
And your correct I definately fall into that mentality. And to make it even worse I owned a Theta that had a billion bass managment options. I guess since I had it in one, I got used to it. Whether needed or not.Comment

Hey, it's usually a nice thing to have the extra rope to hang yourself, or at least have the option!
Seriously, I've spent a faitr amount of time on the LF response, in four different rooms. I always ended up back at 80 Hz. It was well chosen.
