Large vs small ....LFE out...

I thought I had this figured out but wanted get some other opinions. I currently have my mains and center set to large, 4 surrounds to small and the crossover at 80hz...NOW...I also have my Bass/LFE setting on my Yamaha directed to sub(other choices being: sub/mains,and mains only). I guess my question is, there must be a cross over setting for the bass/lfe. I looked in the manual for the Yamaha but no info...Any ideas? I am assuming it has to be pretty low. My LCR have built in subs and being set on large more than handle movie soundtracks. Just curious what benefits if any snding lfe to sub vs sub and mains....

Your mains should not get any LFE (.1) info, unless you set them to Large, and your Pre-Pro to "no subwoofer". I have just gone through this, and discussed with both Cary and Denon to make sure when setting up my system to pass HT info through my preamp. I wanted to use just one sub, and use it for both HT and 2 Channel, but the only way to do that, practically, was to set the PrePro to "no sub", send all of the info through the 2 Channel preamp, then cross over the sub between the preamp, and the amps for the front speakers. So then I would be processing the signal after the tube preamp. I just got another sub instead.

I hope this helps.

Your probably going to confuse the issue aa you are only half right so I will make a point once again, The Yamaha unit allows for LFE to go to mains set to large if desired but you have a choice to just get a full range signal on mains if set to large with the sub doing the LFE.
