I know this gets discussed periodically, but I just read a post where Woochifer suggested that speaker settings should be set to "Small" and let the receiver send all the bass frequencies below 90Hz (or whatever) to the sub.

Why is "Small" preferable to "Large", especially if you have reasonable large speakers and an option on your receiver to send bass output to the sub AND main speakers?

I have front main Studio 40's v.2 and a PW-2100 sub-woofer in my HT setup upstairs running off an RX-V795a and Adcom amplifier. The bass cutoff is 90 hz on my receiver. I currently have the subs cutoff even lower than this (around 60 or 70 I think, don't remember exactly). What detriment is there to having the speakers output the bass as well?


P.S. Sorry to singly you out, Wooch!
