Thanks Jack, that was good information. I like the idea of mains large and the rest small, I'll try that one for sure. When I tried all set to small in one of the music mode on my preamp, my sub was going nuts, ie: loud bass output. The sound was pleasing on one hand but not sustainable so I went back to large mains and that gave me less overall bass output :-( but better overall sound.

Thanks again all for the valuable information.

What do you mean by 'pleasing but not sustainable'? As in cleaner, but too bassy? If so, you may just need to recalibrate your sub's trim/gain since its receiving more signal.

In my last post, I wasn't just referring to having all THX certified speakers, but that our 'regular' speakers may also use those options as a starting point. Then use your ears to fine tune if for your taste and room.
