Should i cross speakers over to "small"?


I have ht set up w/ the following: Yamaha rx1500, def tech 7002 bipols, def tech bpx2 surrounds(7 speaker system) and Def tech super cube II. I finished my basement and dedicated it to ht, room is 15 x 27, so i have speakers all set to "large". I like the 1500, but dont know if it has enough to handle what i have. Sometimes i dont feel the channel discretion....Would this help?

A different angle...
With all the speakers reproducing full range bass, woofers are in many places in the room. Standing waves and cancellations you didn't plan on may become evident. With all the bass coming from one location (the Sub) it's possible more locations in the room would sound better (instead of one sweet spot) Experimentation may bear this out. If all your speakers are indeed capable of reproducing down to 20Hz it could very well be an issue. It's even tricky with multiple subwoofers.
