System sounds better without th sub-woofer on music sometimes...How many people here turn off the woofer for music and turn it back on for movies.
I have AVR's x-over set at 80hz. I also keep the fronts set to smalis there any harm at changing it to 60Hz? speakers are more than capable of doing 60Hz and lower. I wouldnt expect to run fullrange at loud volumes
with blu ray discs however...I listened to some AC/DC (black Ice album) at volume -22, and I realized how full and puchy the speakers are without a sub-woofer, they are pretty efficient too.
The sound was obviously loud but it didn't ever sound loud.
