You already have some great replies but I will still chime in. Ultimately you should set things where they sound best to you. Many people are surprised that speaker level sounds better than RCA. I say try both. I also say try running the NHT's high passed through the subs x-over regardless of what you think of their sound now. You won't know till you try.

As to the X-over setting I'd start at half the three dB down point so around 20 or so. Don't forget to add/subtract gain at each crossover setting. Higher x-over settings will make the subwoofer produce more information and sound louder at the same gain setting.

Finally try a myriad of music as you listen to various settings. There is a big diff! Acoustic, Electric, electronic, live studio and so on. Of course if you don't listen to say classical I wouldn't bother testing with it. Test with what you will use.

Question "Authority", the mainstream media sucks - I need music to help forget the reality of today
