Hi,

I have a question regarding setting "Large" or "Small" for speakers within
a
surround setup. My setup :

Front/Center : Quadral Ascent 450 (115W RMS, 35-24000Hz, 4-8Ohm)
Surround : Quadral Phase Zero (40W RMS, 65-22000Hz, 4Ohm)
Sub : Elac Base 373 (crossover freq 40-180Hz)

What would be the best settings for front, center and surround speakers ?
And which crossover freq should I use for the sub ? Many thanks in advance
for helping me out,

I could not find any objective test data for these speakers and I
wonder about the specs quoted. Certainly set them for 'small' and try
using 80Hz all around on the Quadrals and push the Elac to 180Hz.
After using that for a bit, you might want to experiment with settings
of 50 or 60Hz for the L/C/Rs but keep the surrounds at 80Hz.

Thanks. However my amp doesn't let me set the crossover for speakers. So
basically I should set the sub crossover freq to 180Hz and set all speakers
to "small" setting ?
