That’s a rare luxury. I have my two channel system running full range, and the same speakers integrate with the HT with proper delays and subwoofer integration. Best of both worlds.

I really like my MEN220 rather than a typical crossover.

I get the benefit of setting specific crossover points and delay etc...BUT as a bonus the room correction for the balance of my system is amazing.

Two great gadgets in one!!!

You will get a much better way to control the over sound and punch with one and especially 2 subs or more. If you can afford it look at the Cr1 or a DBX system.

Night to day improvements are around the corner.
