But what about stereo material? If mains=large, sub=on, will any bass redirection happen from mains to sub?




It depends entirely on the receiver/pre-processor. Some do this, some don't.

For instance, my current receiver doesn't do this. Speakers are either Small, with sound below the crossover sent to the sub. Or large and no sub output except for .1 info. There's no mixing or middle ground.

Other receivers like the Outlaw 990 and Emotiva MMC/DMC (and I'm sure many others) allow the user to direct some of the bass to the sub, even when speakers are set to 'Large'. The 990 in particular has very robust bass management that allows the user to do a whole bunch of things with the bass.
