Unless you select "natural rolloff" to "on", then they play their full capabilities. All depends if its for 2-channel or multi-channel and how you want all the speakers to act in relationship to the sub or subs!

There are numerous factors in each room that need to be addressed. Letting them run full range with a integrated sub to fill in 25 to 35, that may tame some ugly peeks is not that a bad thing. Just depends. |

Hi nvp,
You are certainly correct in pointing out that a single subwoofer can help to load a room more optimally than loudspeakers alone (at least in one point in space.) Ideally you want multiple subwoofers if we are dealing with the kind of issues you are writing about. My answer was tailored to the question at hand, which contextually involved a 1970s notion of letting subwoofers do what they do well (go low and loud) and letting loudspeakers do everything else. Back then, small woofers were very limited in achieving relevant levels of output at low frequencies with low levels of distortion. Best regards, Patrick Butler B&W Group North America Quote:

Hi sgbroimp,
I would start with XL and work from there. Refer to my first post in this thread (post #2) for more information. Everything starts with offering general guidelines. Once you get a handle on what your system is doing, more specific guidance can useful. Regards, Patrick Butler B&W Group North America |

In the MX150/151, XXL setting, runs speakers full range (down to 20 Hz) and combines the LFE into mains and sub out. XL setting, runs full range (down to 20 Hz) with LFE going to SUB out.
