I was wondering what you guys are crossing your HT2-TLs at with your sub? I hope to get my pair in a couple of weeks and will be crossing it over with a JL F112 (or F113 if I decide to upgrade).
i have a single rythmik F15 right now and am getting my second this week. i was suprised how well they integrate with the HT2-TL's for music. i read in a thread here a while back that dennis suggested just crossing them over at 80hz but in my room that makes the sub a tad bit too localizable on some music (however it is tends to vary with recordings). overall, i have settled on 60hz but will see if it changes when i add the second sub. bottom line - you're going to have to play with it some to see what works in your room/for you.
ratso - Just curious, are you EQ'ing your sub in any way? Do you have a pre-amp that applies a high pass filter or are you just running your mains with a full signal?
By the way, when i said localize, i don't mean i cant point where the bass is coming from. Instead, the bass seem like is coming from somewhere else rather from the front speakers. When i run the front full range and crossing the sub below 50hz, the bass or the sound seems like is coming from the front. It seems like i get more impact. I will say the integration with full range and cross sub low is better overall then cross front and sub at 80.
Gotcha. I still say this is due to a poor in-room frequency response. Do you have any pictures of your room you can post? How about a description of your room and the locations of your, speakers, sub, and listening position?
That's a good question there Nuance. I was just wondering the same thing last night as I was listening to a track that had some nice punchy mid bass right in the center of my soundstage. If I start crossing over this bass to a sub does that mean that midbass would no longer be located in the center of the soundstage? Or are you just saying that your bass information shows up wherever it was either recorded or mixed?
Interesting. I have no plans to go back to a single box and wouldn't want to give up my AVAT8 pre. To that end, I plan to try using a SMS-1 with a Rythmik F12 and hope that I can get it to integrate well............
