Hi Guys! Last weekend I purchased a Yamaha HTR-5960 receiver. I performed an auto setup using the Yamaha YPAO calibration system which includes a mic placed at listening level in the seating area. It set speaker size, volume, etc. using test tones, checked wiring and set crossover. The owners manual suggested I set my sub at a little less than half volume and set the sub crossover to highest setting which is 120Hz, prior to running the auto setup. Auto setup set the receiver crossover at 120Hz. My speakers sound so much better with the Yamaha receiver however I do plan to manually set the receiver crossover at 150Hz or higher tonight as a trial. I guess a question I have is, should I switch my sub to 'internal crossover' or leave it at 'Direct'? I left it on Direct during the auto setup. I guess I will try both ways. Could someone explain just what I wanting to hear so I can listen for the difference. Thanks.
