Speakers

[mbarber]

I have connected my polk front speakers through the sub as
opposed to using the pre-out jack. Is this the best set-up?Also
it says so select no sub on my receiver setup?Any feed back would be great.

Yamaha HTR-5750 6.1 Receiver
Polk PSW303 sub
Polk RM 2350 Satellites
Polk RM 2650 Center Channel

Would get more better reponse if you list your gear.....

Many think that is the best way to hook up your system.....on your receiver set mains to large and sub to off or no.

If you like it, than that's the way to do it. No?

You can use either front L&R preouts (if your rcvr has them) or speaker outs to feed the sub. Set Speaker Set-up as Front =Large, Center = Small, Surround = Small, Subwoofer = No (or OFF).

This method will absolutely produce the best sound quality out of a sub/sat type system. It avoids double high-pass filtering the Front L&R sats which in turn makes the satellites sound thin and anemic and makes a good sat-to-sub blend almost impossible.

I set mine up this way (as "Polk" has said) and the sound is good!

I have to disagree with the "Polk way." I used to have mine setup that way til Dr. Spec enlightened me. With just your fronts hooked up, pop in your favorite CD and crank it up a little. Now, on your receiver, switch back and forth between large and small. Which way does the midrange sound better to you? Decide for yourself.
