ESL subwoofer crossover frequency

ankan · Aug 31, 2017

Hi,

I have a Pioneer SC-2023 AVR and a Parasound A23 to drive the main front speakers. When I run the MCAAC Caribration on my Pioneer, I choose all speakers as Small and the Sub frequency at 50Hz for music and 80 Hz for Home Theater use.
I would like to hear your comments on these settings, do you agree with the Sub cross points or not ?

Those seem good to me as long as they sound good to you. Although I might have chosen 60Hz for music, as depending on the crossover slope in the Pioneer, the mains might still carry significant LF energy that can muddy the mid-bass.

Even with 12" woofers in my Monoliths, I cross over at 80Hz regardless of source.

Thanks for the reply Jonathan,
I forgot to mention I have a 15" Earthquake sub if that matters.
