Steve - it seems may have misunderstood the first post's wording.
You said in your first post...
is it best to let the receiver control the crossover by switching the sub to ‘direct’ or do I switch the sub to ‘internal x-over’
By the sounds of it, the switch in on the sub. And you're crossover is a low pass and a high pass. i.e. everything the receiver sends over 120Hz is going to your satellite speakers and everything below is being sent to your sub, and your sub is doing no filtering.
Is that correct? I'm probably a lil confused since I've never used a sub that had a switch that let the receiver determine the the crossover for it. I'm not surprised the receiver is maxing out at 120Hz. I doubt it'll sound much better, but based on your sub's specs, I would at least sample going back to using the sub's internal crossover and setting the low pass a little higher to cover the lows a little bit more. But that's just a suggestion or reason to experiment.
good luck.
