My favorite characteristic (and their are many) of the Salon2 is their versatility - They simply don't get in the way of the source - Great speakers for music and they also do a fantastic job on movies - I was curious that since the Salon2 speakers will go down to 20hz where were other owners setting their cross over points
For music listening I default to pure stereo and completely bypass my Velodyne DD10 Sub- Tight pure bass ... you can hear Ray Brown's fingers hit the strings on his upright bass
For movies I've been using the Sub and playing around below the THX level of 80Hz - The standard cross over point of a McIntosh MX150 processor for speakers set to large is 40Hz -Got to love those McIntosh engineers as the lowest note on a bass guitar is 41 Hz - Plus side is that on movie scenes with back ground music the distracting subwoofer "boom" is minimal - Down side is a star ship engine loses a bit of its edge - I'm currently auditioning around 45 Hz
Curious where other Salon owners are setting their cross over point
