Upgraded center and it’s dominating, how do crossovers work?
At the advice of this forum I upgraded from a Polk low profile center to an ES30. It’s punchy and I love it, but I think it’s dominating my front sound stage (which is already narrow). I don’t have budget to upgrade L and R just yet, I want white polk es50 or es55s to match. Until then, should I do any adjustments in the AVR re: crossover?
