Re: Got an M&K MX-150 THX for my Maggies... thoughts?

I have the same sub in my HT setup - but with MMG's... It still maakes sense to use a 80Hz crossover for the 1.6's however. In fact the more "well behaved" response below the crossover may assist in getting a smother bottom end. Remember it is the room modes that dominate here - as inspite of some other bipolar purists out there - a sealed sub is the best way to get solid room pushing low frequencies. Linkwitz even says so with his very nice woofered Orion - a sealed sub is the best match. And I think M&K makes one of the best value subs.

I've used three different bass management schemes. First the AVR own system worked pretty well - made the selection of croosover point relatively moot - 80 Hz. I also ran the sub for a while on its own crossover - and though I often had to readjust the sub level for some program sources - the AVR did a pretty good job as well. Now I have a Ultradrive crossover to biamp the MMG's and it also serves as the sub crossover - I've have a mixer between the Crossover and AVR and my other "pure stereo" front ends - all non digital inputs can be directed to the AVR or to the crossover directly.
