Just Gee Wiz for ya
I dont doubt that, but my point was the sub is still picking up the same sound below 80hz (since you crossed it over), so having duplicated sound is probably just as much a bad thing as it is good.
Now for sub-less systems, i probably would upgrade. 10hz at that level would be a lot, if you have nothing else to pick it up.
Remember, we were told that Dr. HSU went with mere HTM-200s due to wanting to adhere more closely with Dolby specifications because the sub could handle the rest.

To answer the other guy, i now have an HTM-200 center sitting directly on my LCD. I took a couple of pics in the sticky above. Now its definitely a downgrade from the old 340, but i much prefer it over "phantoming" the 340SE L/R.
