I finally got my yamaha 6080B setup yesterday. What job to disconnect all the wires, move the furniture, then put it all back only to find the receiver DOA. Arrhhh!!!

So off the the store to get a replacement and move the furniture, disconnect everything, connect everything and finally move the furniture back. Reciever works

Now to my question. I ran the Auto Setup and found that the front speakers where set to Large and all the others to small. Also found that the bass crossover for the small speakers where set to 120Hz. See my signature for my equipment.

I have two questions. I played around with setting my M60's to Large and Small with my sub. I found that I actually prefer the overall sound from my system with the mains's set to Large. Is there any reason to set them to small if I like the sound I'm getting? It seems to make the sound a little bit richer/fuller.

Also with my vp150 and qs4's, what do you think I should set the crossover to? I thought I read somewhere people setting them to 40Hz but I can't be sure.

All advice is welcome. BTW the new receiver made quite a bit of diff in watching dvd's and listening to movies. Definitely sounds better.



I have new M60's, an EP500 and VP150 with QS8's as surrounds. I notice that when I set my M60's to the small setting that the EP500 puts out more bass, more sound in general. BUT, when I set my M60's to large the EP500 blends much better with the M60's!

Especially if you listen to any music does the M60, EP500 combo sound much more balanced with the M60's set to large, IMO. So after much debate...between my left ear and my right ear...I have decided to leave the M60's set at large with all the others set at small. This still leaves massive amounts of power for the EP500 to cause small children to mess their pants, reduce ceramic objects to dust, and cause pets to cower in a corner when the pods come up from the ground in War Of The Worlds!
