D, he needs to stretch his budget by quite a big gap considering the current RM599 as benchmark.

Now I'm using 2nd hand sub (kenwood sw305 8" sub) which rattles a when watching movies with lot of bass.


Added on November 20, 2011, 10:54 pmOr maybe you guys can help me by suggesting a 2nd hand unit with readonable price. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

LPF off at the subwoofer side.
Let the avr do the bass management. It will send signals for the LFE from 120Hz and below to the sub.

Meaning to say that once we set the crossover frequency at the receiver, we must turn off the crossover at the sub (set it to the highest freq)?

From my onkyo AVR manual, if the satellite has less than 9cm diameter, crosssover need to set to to 150hz or 200hz.

ic.... i'm using center and rear satellite speakers from Onkyo SKS HT528.. it stated 8cm...... and front using tower speakers.. quite rojak..  sweat.gif

Specs

Impedance : 6 ohm
Max input power : 120w
output sound pressure : 81 db/W/m
Frequency response : 80 Hz - 20 kHz
Speaker : 8cm Cone...

I've adjust both my center and rear to 120 Hz.. should be ok... tested on Captain America..

time to upgrade my center and rear!  sweat.gif

I set mine to 150 Hz. I'm using Onkyo SKF-340, 5 piece speaker set (bought for rm160) paired with an old kenwood 8" sub. Before this I'm using kenwood 2 way tower/floorstander which sounded worse compared to this onkyo sets. Maybe my AVR don't have enough power for the floorstander.
