Cross-over setting with RTi28's

[fab5valentine]

Anyone have advice on the RTi28's and the AVR x-over setting? They are a smaller bookshelf speaaks but I'm thinkn' 80hrtz is where they should be w/CSi30 center (HT). Anyone have a difference of opinion? Thanks! Oh, running a good sub too, LFM-1..

80hz is the THX standard, so that's a good place to start. Play around with the settings and compare the same movie scene or song at various crossover settings and see how the changes affect the sound quality from the speakers. Play with your toys, have fun!!

Fab5, I have these. Like Frank Z said 80 Hz is a good place. I think the -3 dB response for this speaker is about 60 Hz. With such a small cabinent, and if you amp has a size setting, set them to SMALL. This may roll them off at 100 or higher, but they may sound cleaner and more detailed. Not much bass coming from these little guys. Nice speaker though.
