    802D crossover

    Ive recently obtained a couple of these that now sit proudly as my front pair with some 805 in the rear and a htm4 at centre (hopefully to be changed ). Anyhoo in my previous setup i was using a velodyne spl1200 sub for all low end film effects and was now wondering 2 things
    a) whether i should put in in the new setup as the 802D do go quite low, but dont 'seem' to go as low as the sub
    b) what crossover value should I use. It doesnt seem right to cross it over at 80hz leaving the rest to the sub when the 802D can accomplish so much more

    any ideas

    thanks

    Depends. Measure the in-room, in-position response of the 802Ds.

      802D at low volume
      by smjc99
      I was wondering the ability of a spkr like 802 Sounding with classe AMp like 5200 at low and hig volumes

      Does an 802D sound/reveal more detail at medium and high volumes only or is it equally good at low to moderate volumes?

      Is this more of a function of amplifier capabilities...

      Comments on my new 802D speakers
      by OmegaSpeed
      I thought I would share some comments with everyone on my new 802D speakers.

      I always recall that after running my Signature 805’s for 4 days straight they came to the point where I really liked them; before that, if I hadn’t heard my friends S805’s in my system prior I would of...

      803D vs. 802D vs. 804S - a subjective comparison
      by Hannu
      I had an in-depth private demo at a scandinavian dealer last week. I compared 802D's to 803D's and finally listened to a pair of 804S's just to keep the things in scale. I've lived with a pair of the first generation N804's for 4 years now.

      The electronics consisted of a stack of the...

      Amps to create "revelation" on 802D / 800D
      by Indytown
      Geoff and others,

      Can we come up with 5 to 10 amps that would drive 802D and 800D's to that "revelation". Where we can open them up at a high volume and no fatigue; and at low listening levels very detailed and good bass.

      Indy...

      Offloading low frequencies from your floorstanders
      by bigburner
      For those of you who have floorstanders and a subwoofer, how many of you offload the low frequencies from your floorstanders so that they only play through the sub when you are listening to 2-channel music?

      In my system my ASW750 subwoofer is wired in between my preamp and my amp so that...
