Um... I said that I'm using a 120Hz crossover, so there really shouldn't be much bass going to the surrounds. I'm using Neo6 or Logic7 most of the time.

Well, I don't know... what crossover should I be using? 120Hz is getting fairly directional.
Logic7 seemed to be better to my ears than Neo6 with my current setup. I don't like DPLII at all.

Through QS4s? I don't think so...

Logic7 seemed to be better to my ears than Neo6 with my current setup. I don't like DPLII at all. Well i again reiterate that the LFE material will be mixed for movies and high res discs to the subwoofer so a surround crossover should be set for 80Hz, given the Dolby specs for this purpose. I understand though that some surrounds are not rated for frequencies as low as 80 so you have to compromise. But really, do you think that 20-40 whopping missing Hertz will so greatly detract from one's experience of watching a movie explosion? Bah. Bloddy purists. I am not sure i have Logic7 on my Onkyo. I don't recall ever seeing it, but i never use DPLII. Not since i did that surround only listening test to see what comes out of them during the DPLII use. It was right weird.

Oh, there's the missing bit: I have an H/K, so I have independent crossovers. My M80s are crossed at 40 or 60 Hz, the VP100 at 100 Hz, and the QS4s at 120Hz.

That does help to solve the general dilemma. I still run my surrounds on 'small' but have my sub crossover synced with the natural rolloff of the M60s around 50Hz. Can't say i've missed any bass that i know of.

I don't know; I haven't listened to QS8s extensively. Dan? Over to you!
