Ken, as much as everyone will argue against it, in my current room I found I needed to run the mains "large" and "LFE+main". (and I have the M80's & EP600) With every other setting, I was unhappy with music. Movies are always great, but music......



I just did this yesterday. I also set my center speakers (M22's in parallel) to large. The surrounds and backs are set to small and at 100. I'm much happier with it and LFE is very smooth to my ears and the SPL meter. I think over the past week I’ve spent close to twenty hours moving speakers, tweaking things with an arsenal of remotes, SPL meters, Test tones, test dvds, listening to different cds and dvds. I’m done and I ain’t changing a frigging thing.

I reckon it just goes to show that the common assumption that speakers should be set to 'small' doesn't always hold true. Everyone should try different things to achieve what they think sounds best to them, in their particular application.
