Chris- you are probably going to want to x-over at about 1 octave above the point your mains poop out to get good music integration, to the 80 hz might not be out of the picture.
Bass Management Question
Hello,
I am currently building a combination home theater / audio system and am considering the Marantz SR7200. I have read that in the source direct mode (for stereo) that it defeats the subwoofer. I know I can still have the sub active for music using the ProLogic or Circle Surround modes. I also believe I can also feed the right and left main pre-outs to the sub, but then I think I lose the true 5.1 effects/info to the sub. Are there some other arrangements that I could use to have the sub work in true 5.1/6.1 fashion AND still be active in the stereo only mode? FWIW, the sub out has a cutoff of 100 Hz. Also, I know there are other rcvrs w/better bass management, but I prefer the sound quality of the Marantz for music over the others.
Thanks,
Chris
