![]() ![]() In addition, the Definitive Technology Speakers are very efficient ( > 90dB) and thus are relatively an easy load for the Receivers Amplifiers to drive in the 8 ohm setting. With proper ventilation, this should never be a problem (at least 4 inches above and behind the Receiver). How big should the speakers be in a receiver? Where should I set the crossover for the speakers? If the speaker cutoff is (for example) 80Hz, should the sub lowpass be set to the same frequency? The SR805 does not have a “Large/Small” setting it lets you specify each speaker as “full-range” or set a crossover frequency between 40 and 200Hz. If you’re using them in a surround system with smaller center and surround speakers, set the surrounds to Small, so the bass frequencies from the surround channels will be sent to the STs. If you don’t have a separate subwoofer, you should set your mains to Large. ![]() What should I Set my surround speakers to? But the Paradigm dealer and everyone I have ever talked to about this says you should always set the speakers to “large” regardless of their actual size/low-frequency response. I found a page on the Audyssey websitethat recommends setting the speakers to “small” after running the auto setup and letting the sub do the so-called heavy lifting. Should I set my speakers to full band?Īgain, with the possible exception of truly full-range tower speakers, a Large/Full-Band setting is generally not recommended, since it might overload and/or damage the speaker, and it also can consume additional power from the AVR, thereby reducing dynamic headroom. Take the opposite course with small rooms, and go for bookshelf or tower speakers with 5-inch (127mm) or smaller woofers. So if you’re lucky enough to have a large house or apartment, don’t skimp on speakers: look for large towers, with 8-inch (203mm) or larger woofers. So if you plan on never, ever listening to loud music or having a party, and room-shaking bass isn’t a priority, wee speakers might be the way to go. Big speakers clobber little ones in two ways: they can play louder and make more bass. When it comes to speakers, size does matter. When configuring the speaker size, as a general guideline, select “Large” if the woofer diameter of your speaker is 16 cm (6.1/4”) or larger, or “Small” if it is smaller than 16 cm (6.1/4”). The front speakers will produce center channel audio. Should I set my center speaker to large or small? Speakers will do their best to reproduce the lowest bass along with the rest of the sonic spectrum. Should I set my speakers to large?Īll speakers should be set to “large”-which the AV receiver will probably do automatically if there is no subwoofer connected and you run Audyssey or some form of auto-calibration. A “Small” speaker will pass frequencies over the designated crossover point. Those types of speakers (satellite speakers, small bookshelf speakers) would be considered a “Small” speaker as they’re ability to pass a full range of frequencies (lows) is limited. ![]()
