JBL's spec is -6dB in the Studio 5 series literature/manual....
I use 100....would depend on your room too, rather than just using an f3 or f6....I'd use small 60hz setting for both 580 and 590

It depends, I use several subs and localization isn't an issue for me either....as they say YMMV. I'd always encourage some crossover experimentation if not measuring....For me 100hz is way too much in stereo with sub going that high, with speakers lacking in low bass sounds a bit naff (and I have a good sub)

I know, I meant on the next receiver I buy.I'd still cross those speakers....I do. The sub outs are not stereo.....

So Marantz and Denon both have stereo sub outs, but I haven’t found if it can do LFE+Mains Stereo yet ei: Right Main bass goes to right sub.You're looking for stereo sub pre-outs? You find something with that feature? I can't think of one....
From what I’ve seen on the review here, XT32 actually works where as XF is just too low resolution to make much of an effort. I have XT right now and the 85hz peak in my room can’t be taken out, it just drops 63hz down like 6db and the next step is like 230hz at 0db. My speakers sound worse after using it. XT32 actually works with I believe it’s 32? EQ steps vs XT’s 8.You might be able to find a used Marantz or Denon or one of the other brands mentioned for a reasonable price.
Of course an AV pre pro has a lot of things to test if you are going to buy it used. But you already have the experience with a receiver so you know what features really need to be carefully tested.
When I "returned" to audio and wanted to upgrade to multichannel I was very depressed at the price of pre processors and then a Schmarantz AV 7005 fell into my lap. It's about ten years old and only has XT not XT 32. But it will do for quite a while. Perfect for figuring out whether all this is worth it.

Oh well, I was more worried about the LR to sub, but the SVS PB-1000 Pros can do their own EQing so I’m fine with that.No, they don't. They have two mono sub outs, and in some models they can be adjusted separately for delay and level, but that's it. You can do the double bass thing in a few modes, tho.

Ya I saw the review for XT32 here and saw how it actually worked vs XT.

There are zero benefits of using high level to sub from stereo main amplifier, and in fact this is terrible way of doing it.
XT32 manages each sub individually.Oh well, I was more worried about the LR to sub, but the SVS PB-1000 Pros can do their own EQing so I’m fine with that.

I had thought about that but didn't want to since I'd lose LFE channel to the subs. I'm talking about how the SVS subs have their own EQ adjustments on the amp plate.So you're going to bypass using the sub pre-outs and use the speaker level inputs with your L/R speakers to get "stereo" bass? I'd think Audyssey is a better eq tool than the onboard dsp in the subs, tho....
