If my memory serves me well, the Stentour's manual had a chart which denoted c/o freq for the alpha/numeric settings.

Using the hi level and any crossover setting in the C or D range will get you cut off as a REL dealer. The C range on a Stentor III begins at 46Hz. |

After I placed the original post in this thread I went back for some more listening with my main system. I played Joanne Shaw Taylor - White Sugar, "Time Has Gone" with the MC501 meters bounce 500+ watts per channel. It was absolutely thrilling how clean and articulate the bass rhythm notes were. There is no problem hearing authoritative deep bass and feeling it as well, without a hint of upper bass exaggeration, bloat, or room compression. Dialing back the crossover point to 38Hz has delivered an awesome tweak to my system without having spent a single penny. That's what I call fantastic! This single change has produced an instant and remarkable performance boost for my main system.
BTW, Joanne Shaw Taylor - White Sugar compact disc delivers some serious blues guitar and singing. She can lay down some blistering blues licks on her Fender. Pick this CD up if you like blues done right. If you can keep the volume down on the track "Time Has Come", see your doctor, there's something wrong with you.

Studio 1 at Sumiko is bigger than your room and E/As were always very far into the room and certainly wider than in your room. Never saw the B range there with a Stentor III. |

Thanks for following up on Bill's visit to Ivan's and taking the time to adjust your sub. Your results along with Ivan's gives me hope that a sub can be integrated into a 2- channel system without making it sound like at Home Theater. I have gone thru several subs and never was happy with the results. I may have to get that Fathom back from my nephew and try it again in my system.

Jim, the key is to let the sub do what it was designed to do, not slobber all over the mains. It's all about the foundation. If you can play something like Cowgirl in the Sand from Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall and be stunned by the space and dimension in the hall, in Young's guitar and his voice without hearing any inkling there is a sub, you'll know you've got it right. It's downright magic when that happens. |
