    Crossovers for Nautilus 805, HTM2

    Hi all, my speaker setup as follows:

    Front L/R: B&W Nautilus 805
    Center: B&W Nautilus HTM2
    Sides: NHT iC3 ceiling speakers
    Rears: NHT iC3 celing speakers
    Subwoofer: Sunfire True EQ Signature Subwoofer

    My listening preferences 90% HT, 10% music. Can someone kindly advise what crossover settings should i set based on the above speaker config? My pre-amp is a Lexicon MC-4

    THanks!!

    wwrjoe,

    I'd suggest all at 80 Hz as a good basis (that is the THX standard that most modern movies are mixed to) and it takes a strain of the speakers below 80hz and puts it on your sub.

    If you want to tweak from there - try the mains and front at 70Hz or 60Hz and possibly the rears at 90 or 100 Hz...

    However for HT my bet is that all 80 Hz would be great...

      Nautilus 805/htm2 Reviews, Info, and Q&A
      by sikoniko
      I am putting the htm2 speaker in with this review because it is the only center that matches these speakers.

      The 805 is the cheapest of the Nautilus speakers, if you do not include a stand in the price. When I brought these speakers home initially, I didnt really have very high hopes....

      Combining Nautilus with 800 series...
      by weijst
      Is there anyone out there who's combining the 'old' Nautilus series with the new 800 series?

      The reason I ask is because I'm not sure wether to opt for a pair of N804 or 805S to hook up next to my Nautilus HTM2 ('old series'). I know the ideal match would be a pair of N805, but reading...

      HELP! Worth buying Nautilus 804 / 805 combo?
      by nick.h
      Hi,

      I have found a pair of Nautilus 804 and 805 forsale. Are they worth purchasing. They are aparently in excellent condition (unsold stock) and a half the cost of the current 800 series range.

      So my question still stands? is it worth it? is there a huge gap in sound quality...
