Gotta love it when a thread starts with "Thinking of buying M22s" and ends with an order for M80s. Don't bother cleaning the nose prints off the front window until after the spearkers arrive.

Gotta love it when a thread starts with "Thinking of buying M22s" and ends with an order for M80s. I started out by looking at the M22's too. Then my thoughts lead me to thinking of trying towers and I started comparing the 22's to the M60's. Which lead me to comparing the 60's to the M80'S. I figured I might as well just go ahead and do it right so I ended getting M80's, VP150, and QS8's. They were delivered on Thursday and I really am enjoying my decision.

I also started out looking at the M22s because I was in an apartment but between planning for the future and the inevitable upgradites that I knew would set in I just got the M80s. The only issue it ended up causing me was needing to find a house with a vaulted ceiling so I could a large enough screen above the towers.

I think weak willed is more appropriate for me, though I have been called “crazy” quite often.

I have a pair of M22's with a SVS 10inch sub, hooked up to a Onkyo TS 605. What is the best crossover setting. I read the posts about setting speakers to "small", however I can also set the actual frequency crossover point. Do I use 80 for the M22's and sub, as well as "label" the speakers as small?
Any advice on set-up would be appreciated.

"Small" (which lets you set the xover) and 80hz sounds like a good start. You can expirement after with cross overs from 60hz to 100hz to see (hear) how it goes (sound)!

Additionally turn the crossover for the sub as high as it goes.

this particular sub does not have crossover controls, so no concerns there. it will be controlled at the source (receiver).
I'm pretty new to the technical aspects of audio set-up. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll make sure it's set to small.
Is there a post explaining crossovers? I get the general idea.. SO for the M22, if it's set to 60 Hz, then any lower frequency would be cut off and sent to the sub. Conversely, for the sub... if it's set at 60Hz, then any frequency higher than that will be left for the M22? Is this an accurate understanding?
THanks,
