I was just reading Alan's article regarding sub setup, in the new monthly newsletter. Below is a section from that article. Has anyone experimented with this type of crossover setting? As most of you know, we normally encourage people to leave the sub on bypass mode and let the receiver manage the LFE. I plan to try this tonight when I get home.

"On the rear panel of the subwoofer, set the volume control to the mid-point or a bit less, and turn the subwoofer’s own crossover control to Bypass (if it has a bypass setting) or to its maximum rotation. Note: If a user wants to experiment and set the subwoofer's crossover at the same frequency as the receiver's crossover, better integration of the subwoofer may be achieved. Experiments at Axiom have shown that with the EP400/500/600 subs, it's advantageous to do so because of the brick-wall algorithms in the DSP circuits."



I have the EP500 set to bypass, but the volume is only at 7 or 7:30 - any more and it completely dominates. Even so, it's almost track by track dependent for xover. I have however found that by setting my pre-pro to 90 Hz, I get a more balanced sound and can run more music with a small setting for the mains. With the xover set at 60 it was really punchy.
