I recently got my new setup from Ascend:
CMT-340s front (L/R/C), 200s rear (wall mounted), Hsu STF-3 subwoofer.
HK 635 reciever. Whenever I'm listening to something, I can get great sounds, but I find myself fiddling a lot with the controls.
I tried the automatic EzSet/Eq setup, but I thought the result was missing some range in the low end, so I went to "manual".
With the CMT-340s, is it better to set the speakers to "large" or to "small" with a 60Hz crossover? You don't get too much directionality with 60Hz?
However, I noticed that with this setting, when I was playing a 120Hz tone but using "Level 7" mode on the receiver, all of the sound was coming from the subwoofer! Is this just a wierdness of "Level 7"?
The STF-3 is pretty loud -- what level should I set it at? If I put the knob on the STF-3 in the middle, the HK calibration sets it down to -10db, which I think is the maximum.
Should I leave the crossover in the STF-3 out, or turn it on?
Is there any way to see what it's doing with equalization? I was assuming that autoEQ would adjust multiple frequencies, but there's no indication what the settings are.
