Setting Crossovers on RTiA7's

I recently upgraded my HT speaker set up to Polks. Right now I have the following:

RTiA7's as fronts
PSW505 as sub
CSIA5 center
FXiA6's as surrounds
HK AVR1600 receiver

After reading many threads on here, I have the front and center crossovers set to 80hz and the surround at 120 hz. Would it make sense to set the fronts to Large and the sub to LFE and let the A7's help out on some low end? Are they considered to be full range? Or, is it better to let the sub handle all the low end and let the fronts and center take care of everything else?

I was worried about how the 1600 would power everything, but right now it sounds fantastic. I will eventually upgrade to a more powerful receiver with amp pre-outs, but for now, I'm a happy camper!

    I meant CSi5 center, not CSiA5.

    give it a try and let your ears decide. I've got my fronts and center set at large and the sub still gets a workout. sounds better to me than having the sub do all the low end work
