Chadnliz,
Thanks for the explanation. I think I understand now. So in the manual this bass/lfe output option(per the manual) sends the bass of the "back surrounds" and where the .1 lfe goes...Seems simple. I just wonder why it is there at all if I have my mains set to large they get everything. The crossover in my speakers(which is at 80hz)sends those freq. to the powered subs in the speaker. The surrounds which are all set to "small" are (unfortunately with the Yamaha there is only one crossover) crossed at 80hz and that can be sent to the sub and or the mains.
My limititation is in my one individual crossover in the Yamaha. Tonight I am going to play around and try setting the mains to small and crossing over at 40-60. Allowing the Sub to handle everything below this...
I know its all subjective as to setting mains to large or small and what the sub should handle and I know what THX suggests. Just wondering what others have found best in their situations.
My set up is 80/20 ht. I am getting some very solid low end without any "boom". I've graphed out the room and have added some dyi acoustic treatments. Really, some quality move sound as far as imaging, transparency of the front end etc.
Initially, I was just using the Yamaha alone, but now as a pre/pro with Adcom 7ch which is night and day from the my initial layout.
