Yep, I’d say the blame lays as much with the speakers as the amp.
That Sony receiver looks even better than the $200 Yamaha recently reviewed. Fifty bucks less, plus a Phono preamp.
I may be completely wrong, but from my understanding of reading the manual and website, this does not have a high-pass/proper 2-way crossover for the speaker outputs, and the DSP functionality is system-global (i.e the main and subs are processed together, so using filters to do the high pass on the main/amp outputs is impossible).This Wiim Amp has both, though, or do you mean other amps?
It does have high pass for the speakers, so I'm not sure how you have come to that conclusion.I may be completely wrong, but from my understanding of reading the manual and website, this does not have a high-pass/proper 2-way crossover for the speaker outputs, and the DSP functionality is system-global (i.e the main and subs are processed together, so using filters to do the high pass on the main/amp outputs is impossible).
Like I said, I may be wrong, however I cannot find any mention of it in the manual.It does have high pass for the speakers, so I'm not sure how you have come to that conclusion.
In the Wiim PEQ you can set up both Low shelf and High shelf filters independently , specifying frequency, gain and Q . Is this what you mean?I may be completely wrong, but from my understanding of reading the manual and website, this does not have a high-pass/proper 2-way crossover for the speaker outputs, and the DSP functionality is system-global (i.e the main and subs are processed together, so using filters to do the high pass on the main/amp outputs is impossible).
Erin's review shows that enabling the crossover indeed applies both the LPF to the sub out and HPF to speakers (examples with crossover at 30Hz and 250Hz):Like I said, I may be wrong, however I cannot find any mention of it in the manual.
Also, googling “wiim high-pass” shows many recent forum posts highlighting the missing feature.
Their official subwoofer guide for this product also has zero mention of high-pass and essentially suggests you set the LPF to match the roll-off of your mains.
Like I said, I very well may be missing something, however considering how desirable high-pass is, if it truly does exist, it’s frankly bizarre that WiiM isn’t advertising or mentioning it at all.

it's one of the things that's great with this product , at it's price you possibly also own some small 2 way speakers ( wild guess ) then everything gets better .
That's a completely different feature. Useful in its own right, but not for high-pass filtering the mains (or low-pass filtering the sub).In the Wiim PEQ you can set up both Low shelf and High shelf filters independently , specifying frequency, gain and Q . Is this what you mean?
It seems the thread you linked was discussing the Pro plus, which doesn't even have a subwoofer out.Like I said, I may be wrong, however I cannot find any mention of it in the manual.

I have confirmed that it has a 2-way crossover after buying one and using it. (Crutchfield’s website, which is my goto for reading product specs, correctly states this.)I may be completely wrong, but from my understanding of reading the manual and website, this does not have a high-pass/proper 2-way crossover for the speaker outputs, and the DSP functionality is system-global (i.e the main and subs are processed together, so using filters to do the high pass on the main/amp outputs is impossible).
