I have mine set to large, but best advice is try both and see what works for your system and room. That is how I set mine and determined the result.
I own speakers Wilson WP/7's that will play down to approx 28Hz and then start to roll off below that. I still have them set to small. If you have a good sub and it's placed in the room properly and setup correctly it can only help your mains when you really PUSH (over 100db) your system. I again emphasize PUSHING the system! Just observe the mechanics behind it.Let's begin with a larger driver designed specifically to move more air or a smaller driver with less air being moved and working harder to produce the same frequency?
Your main speakers roll off at around 50hz, if you set them to large just where you gonna make up those missing 30hz?.....thats a huge gap in sound. You set all to small, roll off mains at 60, center at 60 rears at 80hz and set your sub to cut off at 80hz.........thats the proper way to do it. Why would anyone tell a speaker that rolls off that high that it is "large"?
