Subwoofer setting

50. The other settings are for home theater , as Alvin Gold recently pointed out " Do avoid the 80 HZ crossover point mandated by the world of home cinema-which completely spoils the chances of almost any subwoofer integrating as nature intended". The reason is simple, the crossover point is the frequency at which you began to roll off a sub. If the sub begins to roll off at 50 Hz and the main speakers are specified to 60 Hz there will still be considerable overlap in output between them. To raise the crossover point further is to further increase the frequency range in which both are playing. This is why Linn has 50 as the default.

If you adopt knownothings approach a good disk is the soundtrack from the movie SNEAKERS, in which a bass drum is struck repeatedly. Down load Sumiko's short sub set up guide from their website , I learned about this CD from it. It is available on Amazon at a reasonable price.
