memo

If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and leave the subwoofer selected. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the size and shape of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to what is called low frequency cancellations. If you have a subwoofer, listen to the bass response with the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternately and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you have a subwoofer, the safest option is to route all the bass sounds to it by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.
