How big should center spkr be to set to "large"?


in the processor, that is?

My center speaker is pretty big as center speakers go, a Paradigm cc570. But it pales in LF response compared to my front L/R. Also, I am not currently using a sub.

I have tried it with the center set to small and large. When center is set to large, the movies seem to lose a lot of overall bass. I have plenty of amp power to the center, 200w.

I would like to set the center to large to get a bigger sound right there in the middle, but perhaps you have to have an even bigger center speaker. But that is going to get really expensive.

I use full range floor standing speakers for my front LR, but I find the sound more open and transparent even for stereo if I set all the speakers to small, and let the sub handle LF.

Could part of the problem be putting the center channel on top of the RPTV? Putting the speaker on a stand in front of the RPTV just below the picture might improve performance. I favor a good sub, and crossing over the other speakers at 80Hz.
