I've always read at XX frequency you can't tell where the bass is coming from. I don't know about anyone else, but the sense of feel alone rules that out.
Got a bit of an oddball setup where the surround and rear surround (both sides) are also used as 2 office systems for stereo listening via another preamp and a second dolby atmos system for the office. Each of those spaces need a sub as the speakers only go down to 80hz (Mission E80 85db) The preamps running those have a preout, so I can feed the stereo out from that amp to the subs. Works ok for stereo, which bypasses the Denon 3700H. The subs here have frequency control.
I have some slim custom peerless subs from a failed under sofa sub project which in turn out to be nothing but a mild and inconvenient tickle of my arsehole, I'll be using a pair of those under the center speaker. The front speakers are quite large (Mission E83) but I have a sub with twin 8"s that seems fairly good quality I'm going to try (Mission cube subwoofer). These are fairly cheap now so I can get a matched pair for the fronts easy enough but these do not have an adjustable crossover on the sub although I'm weighing up an SVS upgrade. I 'd rather stereo subs for the front.
The question is does that sounds the best way to hook all these up to the 3700H. Each speaker is running from a separate power amp and my initial thought was to set all speakers to large and use the preouts for the subs which would get me surround sound bass, but how would that affect the smaller speakers? Would they distort at higher volumes or does the speaker crossover cut out the lower frequencies it can't deal with?
Another concern with this setup would be the front preouts from the Denon would be split 4 times. Once for the 2 office systems and the main system for biamping and the subs.
