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,

David.

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 ?

I guess. Your amp should probably default to 80Hz but there's no
certainty of that.

I checked the manual and it says that when setting "small" is chosen then
all freq's below 100Hz will be passed to the sub. So I can assume the
crossover freq of the amp is 100Hz ? So then it would be best to set the
crossover freq of the sub at 100Hz, correct ? Thanks again,

David.

Your sub doesn't need a crossover if the AV amp is providing that function.
Set the sub's crossover to off or its highest available frequency.
