ead 8800pro sub question

When using my Ead8800p in 5.1 movie surround mode I get reinforcement from my subwoofer. When listening to two channel I can not get the sub to work at all.

Im using Revel Studios set to large range
I have a sub xover point set at 60hz (via bassman)

Is there a way to activate 2.1, mains plus sub decoding?

thanks in adv.

Does anything else change apart from the sub being activated when I set front speakers to small? They are revel studios which are hardly small range speakers?

Should I leave them set to small for all modes (music and movies) or can I set them to large for moviews and small for music?

sorry to complicate matters - just seems odd having large speakers and setting them to small.

You can set to small for Mucsic and large for Movies. I known sound strange but that is the only way to work with this preamp. I have Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE and have to set it the same way. I did call EAD and talk to Steve, he told me that is the only way. Sorry that's all I known. Good luck

Steve,

Please dont apologise for not knowing something you obviosuly know! Thank you, you know more than my dealer!

I'll give it a go when the v3 ROM arrives.

Have you found any tweaks that the 8800p responds well too? Isolation, power cables etc? Im using one of Chris Venhaus' Flavour 4 cables which are big awkward buggers to get in place but they do sound great, and they arent that expensive either.

Ian
