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.
The safest option is to route all the bass sounds to the
subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.
