So, a few days ago I ran the Audessey MultEQ XT feature on my Denon AVR-3808CI receiver. The sound was simply amazing. Then yesterday I ran the set-up manually using a Radio-Shack sound meter and measured everything by hand. The sound I got was not at all as good as the Audessey configuration, but after comparing the results, the crossover settings seemed really odd to me.

Here’s what it gave me:

Front (M60’s): Size: Large, Crossover: 40Hz
Centre (VP150): Size: Large, Crossover: 40Hz
Sub (EP500): LFE+Main, Crossover: 80Hz
Surround (QS8’s): Size: Small, Crossover: 90Hz
Surr. Back (M2’s): Size: Small, Crossover: 60Hz

Crossover settings confuse the heck outta me, but I’m very happy with the results the Audessey is producing. Do you guys find these numbers a little strange? Would you change them?
