I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I currently have a pair of MartinLogan Motion 4 bookshelf speakers matched with a MartinLogan Dynamo 300 sub. I'm running them through a Harman Kardon HK 3490 receiver.
I love my receiver, and I love my speakers. The only problem is that the 3490 doesn't have any crossover settings. The Motion 4's have fantastic treble range, but I don't feel like they're getting the headroom they deserve, since they're trying to play full-range. That, and I feel like there is probably some overlap happening, and it's difficult for me to correct that.
My question for you guys would be this:
Would it be better for me to run [receiver>sub>speakers] and use the sub's crossover/amp, or replace my receiver with one that has crossover settings? Or should I just leave it as is?
Again, I love the sound of my HK, so I really only want a solution that's going to be equal or better to what I have now.
Thanks, guys!

You could try just to see if the one and only spot is kinda bad but if your room is crowded and not really rectangular I'd kind of doubt that. Rectangular rooms are pretty bad to set up and if the room is square it is supposed to be even worse.
