Re: running main speakers "large" or "small"?

Richard,

Depends.

Basically, what you are seeking to do is to have the most dynamic system possible to handle the high peaks in action movies. By setting to "small", you offload a tremendous amount of work from your main speakers and amp to the sub. But it's a double-edged sword: can your sub take this extra work?

Listen to both on films with some dynamic effects. Which setting produces the greatest sense of ease? A really great test is to play back dynamic passages at the same relatively high level---maybe higher than you normally listen---and listen for distortion with both settings. This should give you a great idea of which way is best for your gear.
