In Reply to: I agree, I would call 80 to 120Hz the midbass not sub territory. I would not cross a sub past say 63hz. posted by cfb on June 16, 2012 at 17:31:11:
With my computer's speaker system (totally separate from main music system), out of necessity, the sub is crossing over at 90Hz (its high limit).The satellite speakers I'm using are NHT Super Zeros (-3dB at 85Hz). The sub (HSU STF-1) has 90Hz as its maximum high point for "low pass" crossover. That's cutting it very, very close, but I'm happily surprised at just how well they're blending.
In my main system, I have floor standers (NHT Model 2) running full range (down to 40Hz), and the sub (M&K 12") crossing over just barely above 40Hz (going down to about 20Hz). This main system remains in another league altogether. Still, I'm very happy with the computer system as well, for what it is. I've not heard many--if any--"mere computer speaker systems" (not "main" systems") sound this good.
