Anyway, unless you don't have a sub, you want to go into the receiver setup and change each speaker that was set to "large" to "small". The crossover for the m80's and 180 could then be set to 60-80hz.


OK, thanks for the Audessey information...there's a lot to learn there! So, it appears that the Onkyo receiver has taken the information from the Audessey calibration and set the M80s and VP180 to "full range", which is probably Onkyo's term for "large". Is it harmful to leave it set like that? Or will the super-low frequencies in Blu-Ray/DVD content cause physical harm to the M80s/VP180? Just curious.
