Hello again
I am currently not utilizing any bass boost option (not even sure if the Sherwood P-965 has that option). The 100hz cross-over is higher than normal, that I do agree. However, in my setup, I found that this higher setting sounded the best to me, transferring the lower end to the ep800 sub. The comment about abnormally high listening levels; yes, this is definitely the case during some, but not all of my listening.
Cheers, Brendan
Hello there;
In the end, your ears are the best of what is for you and this is good. The reason I was questioning your crossover setting is whether it is movies or music, with the subwoofer and speakers that you have to handle lower bass, the question is at that high a setting can you localize the deep bass to your subwoofer? If so, you have the setting too high. The lowest sounds should be spread throughout the room making it sound like it is coming from all speakers, not just only the sub. 80HZ is usually the optimum level, however, use what sounds best to you.
