Hey everybody. I just ordered the Enthusiast 2 Speaker Package from HSU Research. I have tried three different Home Theaters in a box and was never satisfied with the sound quality. Last week I went to Best Buy and purchased a Denon AVR-1911 Reciever and the Mirage MX 5.1 Speaker set. For the $800 price tag of the speakers, I was a little underwhelmed by the sound to say the least. It was definitely a step up from what I was used to listening to, but still not what I wanted. I want CLEAN, CLEAR, CRISP, LOUND and last but not least, BASS!!! Those speakers just werent doing the trick. I made a post on the AVS Forums and someone suggested HSU Research. I checked out their different options and I decided to go with the Enthusiast 2 Package. I am stoked to get these speakers and sub and finally get the sound I've been waiting for, hopefully. I was just wondering if there is anything special I'm going to need to do as far as my sound settings are concerned. The Denon Reciever I have includes the Audessy Auto Setup with a mic. I was going to run that setup and make sure my bass settings are set to LFE + Main. I wasn't sure what my Crossover HZ setting should be. With my last set of Mirage Speakers, I had the Crossover setting at 150HZ. It will probably be at least a week until I get them but I just want to be prepared. Thanks guys.

Welcome to the forum JewDaddy! Let us know when you receive the package, and we will be happy to walk you through different settings on the subwoofer amplifier and on the receiver. Note that with the horn speakers, we typically use an 80Hz crossover all around.

Thanks so much

Sincerely,
