ADS L1290 Speakers

Hello all and happy Memorial Day weekend.  I recently made a couple changes to my audio system.  I was using a Yamaha DSP A1 integrated amp (about 120 watts per channel) with a set of Wharfedale Rubiance RB-27 floor standing speakers (both about 20 years old).  I recently acquired a pair of ADS L1290 speakers and a Sansui B-2101 power amp at 200 watts per channel (with 600 watt).  I am keeping the Yamaha in line for its preamp (at least for the time being).  I also will continue to use a 15" Mirage FRX-S15 powered downfiring subwoofer.

Which is a better option? The Yamaha has a setting to push everything below 70 Hertz just to the subwoofer.  Would it be better to engage that or have the full signal range go to the L1290's with the subwoofer in play? 

Also, what's the best toe-in for these speakers?

Thanks

I’m actually running my ADS speakers with a [TPA3255] chip amp and they sound spectacular.

this may be the end of the rabbit hole for me.


If it has an end it’s not a proper rabbit hole.
