Crossover Settings Rotel RSX-972

[paazel]

Hello:
I have an Rotel RSX-972, B&W 602s2 (front), LCR-6s2 (center), 601s2 (surround), and a Velodyne SPL-1000 (sub).

I have the speakers set to Large, and am wondering what frequency that crosses over at. I'm asking as to properly adjust the crossover frequency for my subwoofer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.


Additionally, one of my surrounds was damaged (not able to be fixed), and so I purchased a used pair off of ebay. One of the speakers from ebay works well & is in good shape, the other works well, but the cabinet corners have seen better days. Is it better to keep (a) 2 speakers in good condition, or (b) 2 speakers with consecutive serial numbers, where one is dinged up? I have no need for 3 speakers, so one will be posted for sale. I am leaning towards (a).

With speakers set to large there is no crossover applied. None of your speakers really have the range needed for the large setting, so I would change it to small. The crossover will be fixed (probably 80 or 100hz)

As far as your speakers, keep the two best looking ones.

thank you for your advice kevin. i'll change my settings on the receiver & play with the sub somewhere in that range & see what sounds best.

if anyone knows for sure what the exact frequency is, that info would be welcomed.
