    Only if I had a CSi5! Dammit!:D Will large not make it louder or make the words more ear friendly? Or would it put too much on that CSi3? Why not? :confused:

    I don't think it is big enouhg to handle the lows. yes if you had the 5 for sure...I wish I had the 5..I have the 3 as well..
    The lows will be better handled by the sub.... my thoughts on this

    Setting it to large will send bass through the center? If this is so then you are correct. The highs and mids would be better with this set on small. I'm still a rookie, but I am learning! :D

    Thanks Willow

    For what it's worth, I have the 5 and I found that setting it to small sounds the best.

    RTi10s-large
    CSi5-small
    RCi60-small
    SVS- 60 @ 12:00

    LFE/Bass-Both (LFE to sub, all other bass signals to front and sub)

    I guess the bass from the LARGE setting tends to take away from SQ? I will try it tonight when I watch HERO.:D

    I am set to all large right now. I will set all to small except for the RTi10s during the movie. I hope this gives me the sound that I am looking for. I have tried the setting many different ways. Tweaking and adjusting is just a way of life for us I guess! I will let you know how it turns out.
    Thanks for the help!

    I set all to speakers to small except for the towers. The bass to the sub has increased dramatically. The bass circuit has redirected the bass to the towers and sub only. The center and surrounds are giving me a more detailed high to mid range sound. The way I tested my surround effects was to cut off the sub and listen to the speakers only. This helped alot. Thanks for the input.

    Landry,

    Have you calibrated your system with an SPL meter yet?
