Hi,

I just ran the Auto-EQ on my newly acquired Denon AVR-3805. I have Polk RTi70s for Mains, and a Polk CSi40 for a center. The Auto-EQ set the fronts and the center to large, and the subwoofer crossover to 80hz. Would I be better off setting the fronts and center to small?

Thanks,

Ray

    why not try both and see what you like better? chances are you could get away with setting to small since you have a nice sub but you might like them better as large. oh well, guess you are going to have to watch some more movies and listen to more music :p

    Donahue the best thing you can do is experiment and do a little a/b comparison yourself.

    On that note if it were me, yes I would set all speakers to small and switch the crossover to 60hz.
