Post your latest AV purchase(s)......

Crossover left at 40Hz
It's okay to me,but not bad at 80-90Hz the reason didn't keep this 80-90 is due to window glasses chattering.


TT


When I calibrated the system with audy, levels were assigned different for FL n FR as well as SL SR and cross overs is 40 for fronts and 60 for surrounds, LFE is set to 90

Now when we say crossover which means below that set it will route to woofer, so when speakers are at 40-60 and LFE is 90 so what exactly outputs through woofer ?

Today was watching Exodus Gods n Kings and in last storm effect did not enjoyed the overall effect

Hi All, Am new to this Forum. Novice. Based on Reviews thought of buying Elac B5 or B6 which fits in my budget. Where can I get this in Bangalore and any idea about price.

writing this article. I agree with the recommendation that setting the crossover of the main speakers (front, center, surround) to 80Hz or above for better acoustics. All sound below 80Hz will go to the subwoofer when the AV receiver has the main speakers set to SMALL and the subwoofer set to LFE. However, what I don't quite agree on is setting the subwoofer crossover automatically to 120Hz. The reason why people experience muddy sound is likely due to BOTH main speakers and subwoofer having OVERLAPPING SOUND between 80Hz and 120Hz! From a technical perspective and from my experience, I find the bass to be more seamless when setting the AVR to have BOTH main speaker crossover set to 100Hz AND the subwoofer crossover set to 100Hz! This is also with the speakers set to LARGE and the subwoofer set to LFE+Main on the AVR (more on this later).

Even though my main speakers can go down to 60Hz (as determined by Audyssey, and the frequency range of my speakers) doesn't mean I should automatically set the crossover to 60Hz or even 80Hz. Looking at the frequency graphs of my speakers show that the DB sound level starts to taper down starting at 100Hz! If I were set the crossover below 100Hz, the main speakers would struggle to produce volume between 60Hz to 100Hz. Since my subwoofer volume is flat across the 150Hz down to 20Hz frequency range, it makes more sense to have the subwoofer produce sound from 100Hz and below since it can produce more consistent volume levels at that range.

So why set the speakers to LARGE (vs. SMALL) and the subwoofer to LFE+Main (vs. just LFE)? The reason for this is so that ALL frequencies are sent to the main speakers ABOVE the crossover point. Also, any LFE signal PLUS bass frequencies intended for the main speakers would go to the subwoofer. The sound produced with this setup gives the impression of much larger main speakers compared to when the speakers are just set to SMALL and the subwoofer set to LFE on the AVR. When set to SMALL + LFE only, the AVR sends ONLY the LFE signal to the subwoofer WITHOUT sending the bass intended for the main speakers due to DSP circuits removing frequencies it doesn't believe small speakers can handle.

I got new TV, Lg oled E6, it cost me 2.5 lakhs. Extended warranty is 50k per annum, should I go for it?

Pls suggest
Extended warranty for 50K annum [emoji15] ??
Are you sure?
If I assume, you pay 1K for DTH viewing, your monthly TV viewing costs more than 5K.(excluding electricity and other incidental charges)
Even extended warranty doesn't give you complete assurance. In this forum, you will find many FMs, who went through very bad experience. Companies denied warranty support on the pretext of unavailability of components, instead, they calculated depreciation on invoice price, and offered hapless customers buyback option. When manufacturers calculate depreciation, they consider 3 years as the life-expactancy. So after 2 years, if your TV conks out and the service centre fails to repair it, you will be given a cheque of Rs 83K.

Thx for suggesting, 50k is unreasonable. Good to know warranty can be denied, will just pass it on, Thanks.

I also got speaker stands from Mr Murthy. Initial impression is bass is not impacting as mush as it did on desktop. Anyone had same experience?

Kef ls 50 with Devialet 120

Congrats on your purchase. Please go for extended warranty. Otherwise If any thing happens like a power shortage your 2.5 lakhs will be lost in thin air :sad:

Depends on stand design, if pillar filled with sand/lead shot & of course isolation from floor amongst other things. A picture of the set up will help the others also to advise better.

There are better and more effective ways to protect expensive electronics. CVTs, isolation transformers, surge protectors, etc
Several threads on the forum.
