I just picked up this receiver to replace my ancient H&K AVR130, which doesn't even have HDMI ports. I have a somewhat crappy sub which sounded better on my last receiver crossed over closer the internal crossover point of my towers, which is 40hz. On this new receiver, I can't seem to get the "LPF of LFE" setting to go below 80hz.
I understand that this is a THX certified receiver and 80hz is the THX standard, but my sub sounds a bit boomy at that setting. Is there any way to get a lower crossover point?
Also one other thing. Music (deezer on the built in "NET" input) is plenty loud at lower volumes, and sounds great on the "Pure Audio" setting, but when I play various movies, I don't get decent output until 60+ on the volume. I have cycled through the various surround modes without much change. It then gets louder pretty quick with each click of the volume. I'm not even running very many channels. I'm at a 3.1 system until my new rears show up.
