Hi everyone, I'm new to this so please bear with me if the answer is obvious. I know this topic has been discussed all over the net but I can't find the information I'm looking for.
I'm trying to understand exactly what these setting do to a speaker. I did some tests on REW to try to understand but now it seems that I'm completely confused.
I ran a sweep [20-200] on my main left speaker with the following:
Speaker set to Large with xover set to 100 and 40
Speaker set to Small with xover set to 100 and 40
I then did the exact same sweeps but with Audyssey Off [multeq xt32 off]
1. In every scenario there were frequencies below each xover setting. Why am I getting frequencies below these xover settings?
2. I didn't see much of a difference when speaker was selected large or small. I thought for sure if I had the speaker set to small, no low frequencies would make it to the speaker.
3. I did notice that with Audyssey on, I got a much flatter curve. That was the only difference I saw.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong when testing?
I decided to do this when I set my front speakers to Large after running Audyssey for the first time on my "new" x4500. My previous receiver was a x4000 and was able to tell a difference between small and large. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks
