Hopefully, considering the age of this video you've started using the Small setting. The Small or Large setting has nothing to do with their physical size, but rather their frequency response, and has been incorrectly named by pretty much all AVR makers. I'll not go into much more detail because it's already been said in other comments, but basically, whatever your speakers +- 3db point is {say 40hz for example}, put your XO between 10-30hz above that and save your AVR the strain of sending bass to speakers they'll never handle as well as a good sub {SVS, for instance, go down to 20hz with authority, especially the ported designs...offering up to around 10db more output than sealed, and IS a big difference}. In turn, you'll be able to go louder, hear better mid & upper range, feel the bass, and reduce the heat produced from the lack of strain you're putting your speakers through. This is for movies, for music you might wanna lower closer to their limits for more faithful reproduction. There's many an article on these subjects.
I have a DENON AVR-2807 for many years years now. It never sounded right to me and my guest. After watching your video, and taking notes, it was time to set up my receiver. After re-setting everything, I ran a HBO movie. My wife said did you buy a new receiver, you know we can't afford it right now. This is when I became a hero, I told her, I tuned up our old one, with YOU-TUBE instruction. Great video easy to follow. THANKS
Mains: 50 to 60hz Center: 80 to 90hz. 150hz is crazy high. Your voices will sound shrill. Surrounds: 100hz Subs: 70 to 90hz. Voices should never come out of the sub. Maybe James Earl Jones and Sam Elliot, no one else. Overlap sub and mains by 10 hz. Why? It typically just works best. There's usually nulls somewhere in the bass due to room modes and this helps fill in the sound. Lay off the tone controls. You have a gain setting for your sub. Maybe boost the treble a bit to add sparkle and a sense of immediacy to the sound.
If you are as experienced as I am when it comes to dialogue in a movie theater- ran the projection booth for a couple of years - There is a lot more low and that comes from dialogue in the theater as opposed to at home which is why my secondary sub is specifically for that everything else is set in line with what the speakers can handle versus what they should be set to
For years I had the settings on large speakers for all the front speakers, I read an article and said to use the small setting regardless how big they are and since then, the sound is more satisfying.
Other than opinion and personal preference on sound tell me why would the manufacture of both receiver in the speakers both tell me that it should be set to large. Why would I set what are considered large speakers why would I set the receiver to small when I have the appropriate accompaniment for the speakers regarding the subwoofers that I use as well as the other speakers in question.
@@bsgtrekfan88 Why don't you watch the You Tube videos where home theater experts say to use the small settings and the reasons why and ask them directly?
Looks like a lot of folks took a shot at you for the info. Your info helped my out. I changed the crossover frequencies in my Denon 3807 hooked to Advanced Acoustic Development (AAD) lab 610C speakers & AAD PL-10 Sub. I changed all my crossover settings to your recommendations and my Home Theater has never sounded better. Thanks again, good info.
Was having terrible problems with a basic NR Marantz and SVS subwoofer. Ended up with all speakers set to SMALL, crossed at 80 hz. What made the difference was changing the setting to LFE+Main, which sends the frequencies below 80 hz from ALL channels to the SUB....NOT to the MAINS. There are lots of people, in lots of places that have that backwards when it comes to Marantz. That little tidbit was the reason I was having terrible setup issues.
If you are using proper bass management your subs shouldn’t be receiving anything higher than 80Hz. When it comes to satellite speakers your crossovers should be set at 80Hz as well because with the LFE function the receiver is performing the bass management, The surround speaker crossovers are the exact opposite. When setting your surrounds at 80Hz they will have play back frequencies above the 80Hz crossover settings. The whole point is to keep the bass channeled to the sub and the rest to the surrounds. For instance - If you set your sub at 80Hz and your surrounds at 140Hz, then your entire listening experience is missing all frequencies roughly between 90Hz to 130Hz. And if you’re using the LFE on the back of your sub the frequency adjustment means nothing because; again, your receiver is doing the work. If your subwoofer LFE is set to 80Hz; you can change the crossover settings on your surrounds all you want, you’re still only getting 80Hz and lower from your sub. Please understand what you’re doing before you mislead too many people. Actually - just take the video down.
what you should be doing is what ever the bass response is on any speaker, that is what you should set on ur crossover at, example! if you speaker has a 46hz than you should set your crossover at 50hz which is close to 46z and set speakers to small on the reciever. this allows all the bass frequencies to go to the subwoofer which helps the speakers sound clearer with mids and highs and also makes the receiver not work as hard and get hot.
Nothing is sent to the sub woofer the crossovers basically tells the speakers what freq to play and not to play. Don't believe that fiction shit that bass is sent to the sub woofer.
I know right it’s so fucking funny you realize that I can go back-and-forth every fucking minute of every fucking day and not care right?! The system in question was at the time set up properly in my current system is also set up properly the speakers are such a large because guess what their fucking huge knot small guess what the subwoofer and speakers are set accordingly so the frequencies cross each other at the appropriate points problem? I can keep going can you?!
I thought LFE means all lows are only sent to your sub. If you choose LFE+Main that means lows are sent to all your speakers and your sub. Which isn't a good idea if you got satelite speakers. If you have large/ big speakers you should set it to LFE+Main. If on smaller speakers, choose LFE. Correct me if i'm wrong. That's what I understood anyways.
Most subs will not reproduce tight bass sound as well as a good performing speaker. In most cases subs muddy the sound. Exp: klipsch rf7 vs klipsch r120sw, RF7 have a lower response number.
I have a Denon AVR 5805 Receiver 3 Energy 2.4 Veritas Towers up front, one is used as a center channel 2 Energy Veritas V-S Bipole/ Dipole Surround Speakers And 2 Veritas 2.0 Center Channels being used in the rear Should I set the 2.4 Tower in the front center to large like the 2 left and right up front. What should I set the crossover frequencies to for all the speakers and subwoofers I have 2 Energy Microstar MS-12.1 1500 Watt Subwoofers I bought all these components new at the Good Guys Store back in 01’. Everything still works great except the on screen menu for the Denon AVR 5805 via component video out, just rolls and flips on the monitor so you really can’t use it Sometimes I could get it to stop rolling if I just look at the setup display on receiver and go to rename inputs, some reason it slows down and comes up on screen on the monitor sometimes, sometimes not so I just have to see the settings displayed on the receiver to try and set everything
It was informational, I would prefer informative. If you have left/right towers you probably can go large on them, but everything else small. Your powered sub can take the rest. If you go all small , it is easier on your R/V receiver. Less chance of clipping.. Buy two good powered subs with a quality amp and let ithem handle the bass, your receiver won't have to work as hard and it will last longer. Nothing lasts forever any more unless you go separates. Very expensive for home theater, but cool as F if you got deep pockets.
great setup if u dont have powered sub.i have 2 home theather reciever yamaha and onkyo,based on my xperience more sounding good quality if u should make a front,rear speaker in small mode and u must require a powered subwoofer on this setup,lfe turn down to lowest hz.
Thanks, this was VERY helpful and cleared some things up for me. Now, I can't wait to get off work and go home and fix my sound settings. I just bought a new sub (Klipsch sw-350 and a Harman Kardon 1700 series receiver) and it sound great, but I believe it can be better. Thanks again!
Thanks for this video man. I have an older Denon AVR 1909 and it still serves me well however I blocked some display sources and i don't know how to get them back. I have the older Bose Acoustamas 7 speakers for front right, center, and left and the larger Bose for the rears. My old 12 inch Pioneer sub went so I purchased another one. Its only 10 inches, but it kicks ass. So now I need to set everything up once again. Thanks for the video man.
This is a great video but one more point you should do is. Consider the roll off frequency and set your sub to pickup the lower frequency at the roll off point. For example, if your speaker(s) rate at 60Hz on the lower frequency response. Then you should set the crossover freq for your speaker at 80Hz or a bit higher. To know exactly where the roll off frequency of your speaker(s). Then you need a scope to see this.
Large doesn't mean the size of the speaker and stop being in denial about it.. Large means the ability of the speaker to accurately reproduce low frequency which is in the human ear inaudible at around 20hz. If your speaker cannot handle 30hz below or even if it can but at very high volume, set it to SMALL not large. Get educated... Most common theater set ups you set to SMALL. If you dont have a SUB WOOFER, set L/R to Large. If your L/R has a dedicated sub woofer below it set it to large. If it doesn't set too small..
Or some people have been around audio for over 20 years - maybe it’s you all who have your feet dug in. The subwoofer picks up where the speaker leaves off the speaker is set to large per manufacturer and receiver remanufacture the system sounds better than anything I’ve ever heard in a home for his class and it’s working 100% if you have differing opinions that’s one thing until then everybody can shut the fuck up
I had a top end THX Denon menu the same as this one in 2007,I remember reading that you should set your speakers to Small regardless of size and LFE THX Only.I previously had the speakers set to large and there was no clear definition between channels it sounded one big sound. I think this crossover discussion is totally confusing as I’ve watched dozens of videos on the subject and each has a different story and most do not know how to explain something reality simply in a clear manner.Some say low numbers some say high numbers.I’ve tried al these combinations on the latest Denon and the THX standard of 80 for your speakers and 120hz for your sub or subs work for me.If you have a couple of large fronts then possibly up a bit still set to small.LFE +Fronts seem to send base to both sub and front speakers not a slick sound overall.
Thank you for providing your own unique examples and why you feel the way you feel rather than just trashing the video and yes it is a very difficult conversation to have even with people who have been doing it for years :-)
Great video,finaly i gonna know less hz give more bass and more hz more high tone,it was like magic for me,i just got my first ever denon avr x1400 after denon dra100 stereo receiver,what a huge different in sound,i love it😁😁😁😁😁😁
Yes , this is wrong, if you speakers are larger, set all speaker with a cut of frequency 70 hz and for subwoofer the cut off you can set to 80 hz ( not 70 as to compensate the filter slope )
Wrong wrong wrong.....large settings means if that speaker plays the bass... set to small so no bass is sent to you that speaker and the sub takes care of that
Thanks for speaker info. I have a video question however lol. Will this AVR pass-through a 240p or 480i signal from component, s-video, and component through the component out or does it have to up-convert it? Thanks
I have the Pioneer VSX 522 and my centre speaker was lacking. Also I'm trying to get rid of the rolling menu? How do I get the OSD Display on my TV? Any reply appreciated.
I have done a bunch of reading and was under the impression that if your towers can go deep and you set them to large that you will get bass frequency overlap from booth the speakers and that it will sound boomy. and that if you set your towers to small all it does is transfer the lower frequency to the sub and gives your amp and towers more headroom. is there a reason that you set your fronts to large? i know it sucks to set big towers to small... but it really doesnt mean that they are small
Hi.. I have Yamaha Rxv373 Amp. Ns-777 for front, Ns-555 for surround and Ns-c444 for centre chanel. Ns777 and Ns555 are 4 full range tower. Does that mean i can all set them to large and leave centre at small. What frequency should i chose in this case? I dont have a sub.....Thanks
Ditto... just because you have "large" speakers does not mean set to large. Actually, ALL your speakers should be set small and a start point at 80Hz on all speakers.
wow really? The fucking manual said exactly what I said...and no..setting them to small does indeed limit what overall loudness, frequency and bass goes to the speaker regardless of settings......it does fucking matter.
If my satellites for height and surround and surround back have a Frequency Response of 100Hz-20KHz, should I still set them at 80Hz or set them right at 100Hz or set them at 110Hz? I have my fronts and center set 10Hz above their 70Hz frequency. So 80Hz for LCR. And I have 2 subwoofers with LFE set to max on both subs and receiver LFE crossover SET TO 120Hz. Thanks.
@@articfever3616 Audioholics and other experts recommend If your surround backs have a Frequency Response of 100Hz, you should set their crossover at 110/120Hz
Really good video, just wish it was geared toward a simple 2 channel (or 2.1 with subwoofer?) setup for music. I can't get my Denon to output much bass at all. Very faintly detectable, but test mode makes it rumble more, so it must just be a setting problem. (AVR-3806) Also would like to use it with my TV (I have optical going out from the TV to the Denon AVR-3806), but no matter what I try to set up, subwoofer is weak sauce or non-existent. :(
Yeah I can understand that my honest answer for you would be to follow the same suggestion but keep in mind that you have multiple channels of audio going through just to speakers also not for nothing thank you for the kind words and your opening sentence as opposed to what half of the other people on here are saying :-)
@@bsgtrekfan88 Haha, yep, I meant it, there's not enough people that just get straight to the settings and explain what they do like you did here, so yeah, thanks for a helpful video. I will be taking what I can from it. Also thanks for the encouragement, I'll keep trying. (Been tinkering on and off for the better part of a year... made a little progress, but have a ways to go.) Take it easy bro, and happy almost new year!
@@bsgtrekfan88 Holy crap I'm back to tell you I got bass! I was about 10hz off, that's it! Sub was set to 90hz, and I knocked it down to 80, the lowest Denon will let me go for some reason, and suddenly the sub came to life! (Also put my L/R up to 60, because it was at 40 for some reason, and my JBL 2600s only go down to 60... not sure if changing that made a difference.) Anyway, you might be the only one that would care, so I'm telling you! It's been a long time trying to figure this out, and I have a lot more to learn, but my CDs should sound good now! Gotta test it on the TV settings, and more importantly, Phono!
@@bsgtrekfan88 (Well celebrations may have been a bit premature, but it does sound noticeably better... still not as thick and robust as it sounds hooked up to an inferior Yamaha receiver... but I'm still experimenting.) K I'll stop spamming your comments section for awhile! lol
How do you switch between speaker s A and B im using it in 2 channel stereo only mode and I dont know how to switch between them. All hooked up to. I followed some of the things on your menu but I am stuck there.
Angel Luis Rodriguez collado To answer your question , I believe the best would be 90 hertz. That 10 hertz overlap is to cover the slope crossover so it feels seamless and well blended. Try it out, go by ear, see if 80 or 120 is better, can’t decide? Stick to 90!
I can't get my surround sound to work on my Denon amp. It use to work but I think my wife hit the wrong button on the remote or she turned the dials on the amp. Sounds comes out of the surround speakers from the FM radio in the amp. How do I stop that?
I have 2 powered subs and I have 2 different problems with each. I think they both have problems because I cant get either to work with my Denon system. I've messed with the settings and I'm kind of concluding that the amps in the subs are bad. 1 sub makes a bassy static noise when powered on. Even when not connected to the RCA connector. the other sub doesnt seem to receive the signal or enough signal to push bass. I can see that sometimes it does receive a signal to power on when in Auto mode, but not enough to drive the woofer and get sound out of it. It worked before with my previous stereo and I forget when it started to have trouble (if while I had the previous system and before the Denon receiver) or if it stopped working with the new system. Either way I cant figure out what's the problem. How can I fix the subs to use one of them or test them to make sure it's not just a weird setting issue? The subs only have the RCA and High Output/Input connections... The Denon receiver has a Subwoofer Pre-Out I have it set to LFE+MAIN I've tried setting all speakers to SMALL to get the receiver to push all bass to the sub (the one that has trouble receiving signal because the other one has way too much statig that I cant tell what's going on) I've also tried messing with turning the sub off and adjusting the Amp Assign option on the receiver. I have the Bass and Ext.In SW Settings set to Max, I have the Amp set at the highest db tone level I can get them to (12+) I've tried testing the tone to the sub and get nothing. So is it the amp that's burnt out? The Fuses on both are fine. What could it be? any help is greatly appreciated.
This info is incorrect. Most speakers should be set to small to let the sub take care of the low frequencies. Also with an LFE connection the sub crossover is bypassed and should be set at the highest setting to avoid conflict with the receivers crossover setting.
So 8 years going and you people STILL think that TOWER SPEAKERS with larger than 7" drivers dont get set to large - wrong ;) Frequencies that the speakers can handle go to them - the lower goes to the sub(s) - how hard is this?! Small = Bookshelf type speakers. Let me say this again for those in the back...TOWER SPEAKERS ARE NOT SMALL!!!! Denon recommends towers and other speakers of the kind be set to large. NUFF SAID!
I had to hard reset my Denon 1610 due to it cutting out. I am totally unfamiliar with the starting point to get they system running again. What is the easiest way to get the sound back? Sorry, I'm not very good at this stuff. ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!!
I calibrated my system by loudness by db level from each speaker using SPL meter. I also input distances. Did not change the default settings on hz cutoff for each speaker. I allowed system to set large or small speaker size. I set subs with the gain to max and the crossover to max. Will pre amp decide frequencies to send to speakers at certain volumes? Am I missing something here? I next need to use internal eq settings to get flat freq response on each speaker using Sherbourn PT-7030 Pre amp.
hello i have onkyo txnr 646 and the harman kardon hkts 9bq and my receiver after accueq has the satelite speakers front to 180hz and back to 150 and the sub to 120hz thats good for the sound? i try to down hz to the sub but the receiver goes only to 80hz why it dosn go 40 30or less can you help and tell me what i have to do thanks...
Ok, Nothing is wrong on the set up having to do with large and small. If you want your speakers to play some bass then add large.If you want only the sub to play bass then set them on small.Its really that simple. This is nothing like car audio where you blow out speakers cranking it up because your watching a movie and not listening to a song so you don't have it cranked up 3/4 and above.I doubt you will blow a small speaker unless its just a junk speaker.These systems have power but they are usually not even played at half volume so the speakers will handle it easily
This is true but setting a given speaker to small is going to have a preset setting not allow low freq at all so setting them at large will allow some bass then how much bass can be controlled by the crossover settings. I like a small amount of bass on my surround speakers around 100hz to allow a thicker sound.I have a friend that has some very cheap sony desktop speakers which we dumped a lot of bass into to see if it would handle it and it did.If we cranked it then the speakers would blow but even a loud movie is not nearly enough to damage a speaker unless the person is just deaf and has it cranked up 3/4 or higher which would be annoying
Get a good sub....set all those front crossovers to at least 80 so your fronts can crank with no stress on them! You are just pushing your av receiver too much
for me my 7.1 channel my set up it's combine sony & bose total 4000watts pure home entertainment POWER!! your volume max level put on number 20 that's only my number 5 i live it up to you when i got time next week i will put my video here in youtube 2001 to 2015 that's my hobby in 14 years my receiver it's very old but i beat my a lot of my friends harmankardon yamaha onkyo and pioneer's and denon very clear sounds and reallistic sounds my subwoofer i coztumize CROSS OVER set up main base dual
True - see newer videos for my current se up but I have the fronts set to 60, the center set to 80 and the rears set to 90. I have 3 subs one for 50htz and below for the deep stuff.
Hope someone can help me. I'm running 2 channel and just got a sub. I've set my sub on my Yamaha avr to lfe there's no lfe main, now on the back of the sub the dial for the lpf I've got it turned to the lfe position and not any crossover Hz. Is this wrong? What do I set my sub for when it comes to Hz, plus in the avr I've set my 2 towers to small and at 80hz also I've set them at 0db and my sub at 0db. Any help guys would be greatly appreciated 🙏
Better to use automatic setup than to follow this video, just for information of what is what, this video is good else do the automatic setup than to follow this video.
You should not set your front speakers to 40 they should be at least 80 (80 should be seen as a minimum crossover frequency) otherwise your subwoofer is completely useless.
No it’s not completely useless it’ll pick up the frequency is meant for the sub woofer I cannot believe I’m still getting feedback like this years later I am literally in communication with the manufactures of the speakers and the receiver and they have all said the same thing now 40 might be a little low and since making this video a lot has happened in my life and I think I currently have them set to 60 but you get the idea
BSGT2TREKFAN88 I get the idea and if you set it to 40 or 60 you are only giving your sub 10 to 20hz to work with that makes it useless. I don’t know what manufacturer you’re on the phone with but I doubt he actually knows what he’s talking about. Anything below 80 makes your sub not do the thing he was made for unless you have full width/band speakers that can go from 20hz to 20khz. Besides that all speakers (unless you have very expensive speakers that can do the full spectrum) should be set to small.
BSGT2TREKFAN88 yes so still small as the 820f’s are rated 35Hz/40Hz - 21kHz so it’s still not a full width/band speaker. (And it’s klipsch) although I doubt you have the reference series all round but okay. Good luck and I really hope nobody took these settings to heart.
Some parts are correct. But the presenter misspoke a word or two. And he is doing one thing on the screen while talking about an entirely different thing. Not good for a beginner to watch and listen.
Some good basic stuff but you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to gain, crossovers, and subwoofer frequencies. Sorry to call you out in public but when you're wrong, you're wrong...
So by that logic, Klipsch and Denon are wrong? Bro sub pucks up were the speakers leave off - these speakers are rated for X req's - sub picks up were they leave off depending on your individual settings - if Klipsch and Denon signed off on my settings - am I still wrong? I will die on this hill. Sure my terminology, and way I explained given it was on the cuff filming - - -
You mad Bro? Klipsch, Denon, and Marantz are certainly makers of products and so are Arcam, JBL, and Mark Levinson. That's a few of the differences between entry level consumer products like you mentioned and high end audiophile gear I'm speaking of. Each manufacturer has philosophies on sound a d proprietary hardware, software, and firmware to deliver what they advertise... The crossover only limits your large or small speaker roll offs, not the sub frequency. In a 3.1, 5.1, 7.1 or more .anything system you think setting front channels to large at 40Hz, center channel to small at 150Hz, and surrounds to small at 200Hz limits the subwoofer frequency? Perhaps you're familiar with harmonics and sympathetic vibrations, or not? That's why the sub has it's own crossover to gap or overlap the sub or mid bass frequencies. The gain is used to dial in the amount of AC voltage to the sub given the measured sub preamp signal voltage at a given frequency. The end result is volume to your ear but the dynamics can be overdriven if sub (and it's components can't reproduce a given frequency at a specific decibel requirement, IE: 85db) due to power, speaker excursion or other acoustic limitations. Just sayin'...
Very misleading setup, These cross over frequencies will not work at all as you will pass all your lower frequencies to speakers rather than sub woofer. 90 percent of THX certified receiver will suggest all speakers set at 80Mzh and LFE 120Mhz. You need to do your homework. High end Receivers like Onkyo RZ3100 or Denon AVR-6400h will sound crap with this setup.
Your opinion of my set up is exactly that an opinion not a fact I am telling you right now that according to the instruction manual and not one but for different fucking manufacturers I have not only the correct settings but the preferred settings and of discussion batteries not included shut the fuck up
@@bsgtrekfan88 just because you think your ideas are correct does not make it so. You might rethink and readjust your settings to see what all these "haters" are talking about. You might be surprised at the outcome. All these people can't be wrong.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not but given the amount of comments on this video that are I’m going to assume that you are just kidding I won’t however to your comment this is from a long time ago and I haven’t watch the video all the way through in a while but if I click around it’s the show people where to go trust me I know Denon receivers is better than the back of my hand
dont listen to this guy ..info is wrong ..all speaker for surround formats ...at all times are set too small .u want the subwoofer to take all the low end .LFE.. .audioholics has all the info you need ..correct info
No you want to sub offer to handle the low-end that your main speakers can’t handle which is also why on your rear speakers you usually have that set a little higher as they can possibly handle or give you the same performance for low-end as tower speakers
thanks bro this helps out, I have onkyo home theater system and it sounds great, but I got a question would it matter if Im using two subwoofers? my second question is how do I turn on my audessey on my onkyo receiver? because when I try to go to it on my settings it's not highlighted for me to choose.
+BSGT2TREKFAN88 it's not haters and I agree some people are being assholes,but large/small has nothing to do with size of your speakers. Whomever told you this is 100% incorrect. Large is for loudspeakers that can reproduce flat full range (approx. 20Hz - 20kHz) undistorted frequencies at meaningful output levels. Small speakers: are loudspeakers that cannot accurately reproduce bass frequencies (approx. 20Hz - 80Hz) frequencies and which would need a subwoofer to compliment lower frequency response. you should read up on this. You may want to argue but everyone is telling you that you are incorrect for a reason... Regardless how they are telling you.
Audio science isn't about right or wrong opinions, it's about the laws of physics, and it has nothing to do with being a hater, you are just plain wrong about some of the things you are discussing here. *You* are kind of being an asshole by disseminating incorrect information in this video. If I were you, I'd remove it, study up and redo it correctly.
WHAT ABOUT 25-30Hz???.........DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY SPEAKERS.... BP6.......4 SR8080.........CS8080..... SUPER CUBE2000.......RECEIVER ARCAM FMJ AVR400..........
I can’t help what you watch when or where and when you stop watching however you are indeed incorrect with the set up that I have with what I want out of the speakers setting the center channel to large given its size and what it can handle both in frequency response and in general is the correct setting not only recommended by the manufacturer but also to my ears audio is more of a choice and personal preference to each is own
Lol I know right it’s not like I’ve been in contact with both the manufacture of the speakers and the receiver and have confirmed that my settings are indeed correct for my particular layout with my subwoofers etc. speakers etc. but yeah I am wrong
This is completely wrong. You don't set your speakers large just because they're "large" the large setting is for speakers that could play full range down to 25 hz or lower which most speakers can't do.
Why....nothing I have done here is incorrect. I have multiple manufacturers of speakers receivers and in general people that are well into their 70s with years of audio and video experience not to mention my own 15 years in the industry nothing here is incorrect people have their own opinions and have their own ideas on how they would set up their own system to their liking and setting that does not apply to the situation/video here.
I am confused ,please helpI have onkyo rz 800 with 2 klipsch rp 280 fa atmos and 450 c center channel,what is my speaker setup should be? small or large?
