I tend to agree, bridgman. I have my crossover set at 60 Hz; any higher and music just gets too sloppy fat in the low end. At 60, it hits some nice tones where needed, and the M60s pick up the rest and help keep the sound tight.

It's a little trickier with DVD-A's and SACDs, though, since the Denon 3910 has its own speaker/bass management for such output. While this allows for greater flexibility and is therefore preferable, it adds more variables into the mix. I cut the bass down for hi-res music generally; if I leave it at 0dB, it just buries the rest of the music.

This has done a lot to get it to where I don't have to do much tweaking album to album anymore, except in extreme cases (e.g. the aforementioned "Chicago II" DVD-A).
