Sub and LFE settings on Surround Processor


I am trying to tweak my home theater subs and am intertested in the groups experience with the sub and lfe settings. My surround processor has the capability of adjusting both for a variety of equipment including dvd,dish, cd ect. I am trying to get a feel for the balance between lfe and sub as well as the Hz for the crossover. Presently I have theater set 80Hz and the music at 60Hz. I would appreciate any input.

Ken you should run your Revel mains full range for music. If you can control the slope of the roll off for the low frequencies [6db 12db 18db 24db] then you set the slope at the slowest setting provided. 6db being slower than 12db etc. Usually the slower the slope the lower the frequency setting should be placed, in your case 12db. I would place freq hz at 40 to 45hz. One issue that is in question and the hardest to measure and also to cure is accoustic phase relationships and wave launch of all the drivers. Wow. Ken remember I have an RTA. I believe you live not to far from me. You supply the beverages?
