I have a cs400 center and rt55's as my front speakers. What is your experience in setting these to a small or large setting on the avr? I have read differing opinions and am curious to get as much info as possible. Any benefit or detriment to having the setting at small vs. large? Thanks in advance.

    That's a required bookmark link from Pearsall001 and a very good read.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Thanks guys. This article helped a lot. Now I understand, bigger size doesn't necessarily mean better in this case. Now just to convince my wife of the same!!!!!!:eek::biggrin:
