What is the crossover frequency for each of these speakers? My Onkyo receiver asks to set crossover frequency and Jamo's specs do not have this info.

The cut off frequency on all 5 speakers is 2500Hz. This information is found in the manual which can be downloaded from the Jamo web site. ( www.jamo.com ) Enter "S 426 HCS 3" in the web sites search engine and the line will pop up. Click on manual for additional info.

James, not familiar w/ that reciever, the onkyo speakers probably would work well with your reciever, great speakers.

Hey Michael, they didn't come with crossovers. On the system I ran, there wasn't a need for a crossover. Also, these speakers dont come with tweeters.

Not sure what your asking, default level is whatever input level you select..I have found running them at 12 o'clock on all knobs and crossover around 80-100hz paired with our subs. When we need more low end I have turned crossover to 50HZ and just rolled off a little of the low EQ.

Polk describes the speakers as being a 4-way tower speaker with three 5-1/4 inch drivers. Arranged in a MTMW configuration suggests the crossover is a 3-way, perhaps they claim a 4-way because it can be connected with a bi-amp capable receiver. I upgraded the xover with a VR3 Mod that replaced the stock components with higher quality ones. The upgrade was well worth it.

Susan, I originally bought a pair with the sub woofer. I then wanted to do a 5.1 home theather and added another pair without the sub woofer. I am using an Onkyo TX-NR414. Works great!

Please google it. I think you might find something on avsforum.com. If I remember, it has been addressed or will be shortly. Not sure if this applies to specific Onkyo models.

Hey Dennis,Did you tinker with the speaker setting on the BD player? Does it still only sound like 2.0 stereo?let me know, Im going over to my nephews house tomorrow, he has the same Onkyo SR550, and I will check his settings for you.Tom

I have them paired with an Onkyo TX-NR626 receiver and they sound great. The Onkyo is like these speakers in that it's a good value. You can spend as much as you want to on speakers and receivers, but it takes a lot of money to make gradual steps up the ladder from these.

Speakers do not have to come the same manufacturer. In my case I am using the stereo unit with an existing built-in speaker system. There are several stereo speakers in different rooms so in my case I need & use an impedance matching unit so that I do not burn out the amplifier in the stereo receiver. If I recall correctly the Onkyo unit I have has to be connected to 8 ohm impedance speakers. I don't recall the power output per channel, but I suspect you could get away with speakers rated for 30 watts or greater. Hope this helps.

I rly like the way Alpine has made this crossover. It's pretty straight forward, but can seem a lil confusing. There are 4 db settings and 5 pins. I was sortta dumbfounded when I started myself. The 1st and 2nd pin are 0 dB. the 2nd and 3rd pin are 2 dB. 3rd and 4th pin are 4 db. Finally the 4th and 5th pin are for 6db. I have mine set at +4 db. It's a good setting for me. Perfect highs w/o any distortion. Hope the helped.

I would suggest checking with Onkyo Tech Support. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Sorry, can't answer that. The ABX and I are in different locations at the moment and I don't have access to the manual. I'm sure an Onkyo techie would be more than willing to help, however. Good luck.

What's the frequency response of the mains? You will likely see the need to adjust the sub's high end slightly above the low end of the mains, using a cable into the l/r input jacks. Or you could use the crossovers in the receiver, set the speakers to small, crossover wherever you think the low end drops off on the mains... usually 10 hz above the listed specs. Then connect the sub the the lfe input, that bypasses the crossover in the sub.

Hey,Well it still sounds like 2.0. Maybe it is the Onkyo settings; specifically in the setup speaker config. maybe it still thinks its 7.1. Sound would be destined for speakers that are not there.Dennis

I just bought the speakers and paired them with Denon AVR-S500BT; awesome. The price is similar to Onkyo but Denon has the auto calibration tool. The setup is also very easy, just another option for you to consider.Either way, it should work.
