Hello,
Again I'm thinking of what I'm going to do with my future system. The thing I have most difficulty with is what I should do with the woofers.
My room is rather small and I have the idea I'm not experiencing the bass optimally because of my close proximity to the woofers. So what I would like to do is seperate the woofers from the main mid-high section and place them further back in the room or even in the corners. So basically bookshelf speakers with subwoofers, though playing a little higher than normal. This should improve my perception of the bass and might also bring some of the advantages of corner-loading with it. Though the thing I'm strugling with is the crossover from the mid-woofer to the woofers. How high can I take the mid-woofer crossover the woofers are placed away. I would like something in the range of 200 to 250 Hz. Is this possible? Those frequencies are pretty much entirely omnidirectional but I doubt the actual effect it will have on the placing of the overall sound.
Thoughts?

Assuming You have a three way system You have two options:
DSP & Separate amps for the woofers and mid-high, and disable the woofer crossover part in the mid-high cabinets.
Bring the crossover connections for the woofers to the outside of the mid-high cabinet and connect them to the new woofers.
I believe the first option is preferable since You can tweak settings.

Well when i stand back as much as I can I have the idea I'm getting a bit better bass. Also before this system I used to have a system with a sub. First I used to have that under my desk, right beside my listening position and I could barely even hear it. Then when I one day moved it to the back of the room, I got all the bass.
