By way of a follow up to my previous question on subwoofer setup: I tried using a lowpass filter for my sub (60Hz) and a corresponding high pass filter for the main speakers (also 60Hz). Based on my reading, I was expecting this set up to eliminate the overlap between speakers and sub below 60Hz and hence provide a neat integration (and reduce the load on the D200 and speakers). I was very surprised that this set up generates a (much) stronger bass compared to the same setting but without the high pass filter, i.e. with the main speakers receiving a full signal and hence with both speakers and subwoofer operating below 60Hz. This is exactly the opposite of what I was expecting. Clearly I am not understanding something ! Any ideas?
