Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Which Brand/Models of Receiver can do this?

Last week you all graciously helped me w/my Yamaha 2400/M60/EP500 Dilemma around my Bass out settings by explaining the logic behind the different settings. With that said, I have arrived at the following: For movies/TV, I use all speakers small, bass out sub, Crossover at 80hz. Pretty standard. BUT, for CD music, I now prefer All speakers small, Bass out BOTH, and crossover at 60HZ. My question is the RXV2400 forces me to change this each time I go back and forth. Is there a Receiver brand/model that will allow the following:

Bass Out option saved for each input
Crossover option saved for each input
Channel level DB trims saved for each input.

Thanks to all of you for your continued guidance.

HK, of course. All models from 130 on up...

I suspected that. Now to figure out how long I can go before upgrading since my wife bought me the 2400 for my B-day in October!!

One other question, is the reason I'm having inconsistencies in my 60-80 hz range bc/ I'm in a half cube room (20x20x9.9)?

20 feet would give you peaks at 28, 56, 84 Hz and dips at 14, 42, 70 hz...

9 feet would give you peaks at 61, 122 Hz and dips at 30, 90, 150 Hz...

It would certainly explain a big 60 Hz peak... if you could get your speakers ~4-1/2 feet away from the wall (ideally that distance in both directions from the corner I guess) that would give you some 60 Hz cancellation and tame the peak. Thanks to JohnK for frequently reminding me of this. At minimum try putting your EP500 4.5 feet out from each wall and see what happens.

If that helps but not enough then try moving the M60s out to 4.5 feet or raise the EP500 4.5 feet off the floor

BTW I don't know that the Yamaha *won't* do separate bass mgmt settings per input, just that the HK *will* do it. You have to switch from "Global" to "Independent" bass management on the HK to get different settings per source, possibly the Yamaha has the same capability. Don't have time to download the manual now though

my onkyo 801 saves those settings for each input, i do not know about the rest of the onkyo line though

I have the Denon 2805, and normally I used all small/80hz setting. I have played around with jumping to 60hz for music as well, but found 80hz is a great overall setting for all situations. Plenty of low bass effects...

I am pretty sure you can setup the 2400 to use different setting for inputs.

I believe all of the Rotel receivers & prepros do this.

i have a bottom of the line yamaha htr-5730 (upgrading to hk 635 soon) and there is no way to have different configs saved for imputs....only one

Hi!
You can do whatever you want with a HK (in my case,7300).It's just a matter of settings, of course!
