Hello - due to changes in space requirements in our (very small) living room, (and the arrival of kids and all their related paraphernalia!) I have had to replace my floor standing speakers with smaller wall-mounted satellites (Cambridge Audio Min Minx 22) and a discrete subwoofer.
The Min Minx 22 have a lower frequency response of 120Hz so require a sub to fill in for anything below that. I have purchased a sub which will do the job from ~38Hz to ~160Hz, ample for my needs.
However; when setting this all up I discovered that the Sonos Amp crossover settings will only allow a cutoff of 100Hz or less, a good ~40Hz or so below where I would ideally like to set the crossover point.
Presumably this is a software limitation, so I was wondering if others are facing this issue and whether Sonos might be able to update firmware to allow a higher cutoff frequency for the sub output?
I see other similar products on the market which offer much more range in the crossover settings but would really like to stick with the Sonos kit I already have if I can.
Due to location of the sub, speaker level connectivity isn’t practical sadly, plus I’d prefer to let the amp manage the crossover point to avoid feeding the speakers with unnecessarily low frequencies.
As it stands, both the speakers and the sub sound great for most music and by themselves. But there’s a very obvious distracting ‘gap’ in the sound, most noticeable for male voices and TV viewing which results in very jarring intermittent activation of the sub at around the 100Hz point where no speakers are filling in the 100-120Hz frequencies.
Thoughts appreciated!
