I am confused by the cross-over issue. I understand the basic concept that the processor divides the audio signal and re-directs the low base signal to the sub, and sends only the higher frequency signals to the fronts, center and surrounds. So, the questions looms, if the lower base sounds are taken away from the front tower speakers, why do we even need tower speakers for fronts? What are the towers (80's or 60's, etc.) doing if the crossover is set at 60hz or 80hz?
I do listen to a lot of two channel stereo, so the towers could be useful there, but, couldn't a sub still be used to replace the towers even for stereo listening?
I want to buy the towers, but I am hoping that you guys can convince me that it is not a waste of money.
