Bob, yes a good starting setting(and likely final, as well)would be all speakers small with an 80Hz crossover on the 1500 and bass directed to "SWFR". If you'll be using the Energy speakers for front presence rather than back surround then the QS8s should be slightly farther back than directly to the side so that they can provide some back imaging. Use DPLII for two channel and 5 channel sources when not using special presence effects.
