Hifidelity,

I would set all your speakers to SMALL, and set the crossover point in the reciever at 80 Hz. You can experiment with 100 hz crossovers as well and see what sounds best to you in your room.

Also, make sure you set your delays as well.

Finally, a really good thing to do is get a SPL meter and a calibration disc (like Digital Video Essentials or Avia, etc). This will allow you to balance all your speakers to the same level. This will make your system nicely integrated and sound very good.


Hope this helps.

I agree with htsteve.

80 Hz will probably do it, but you may find a higher crossover sounds better.

Taking a look at your receiver (I'm assuming this is the TX-SR607) it appears you've got Audyssey. I'd use that to configure your system: you can tweak it further if you don't like what it does, but it may be that you won't need to change a thing after it does its thing.

Otherwise, a DVD like Avia and an SPL meter are very helpful to get levels balanced.
