MRX1120 - How to Set Speakers to Large

[wayne1sg]

Greetings, I just added a new sub to my system a JL Audio e110. I wanted to set my speakers to large on my Anthem MRX1120. I don't see a setting in the Anthem menus that lets me select Large or Small for speaker size. I ran ARC and it set them to 80hz. I don't see a setting in ARC for Large or Small either. Do I set them as large by simply tweaking ARC and changing the crossover settings from 80hz to 60hz? I turned off ARC on the remote control app and manually set the crossover settings to 60hz and my speakers sound more dynamic. I am mostly listening to music. My current setup - B&W 702 S2s, Anthem MRX 1120, Yamaha CD-S1000, and a Music Hall mmm-1.5. I will be adding a second JL Audio e110 sub in a week or so.

Why would you want to set them to large? The manual has no information in this regard? Does this unit use the small/large terminology to begin with? Or is it bass management on/off instead (as it should be)?

The manual is limited and there doesn’t appear to be a setting that lets me select Large or Small. There is just bass management like you mention. Thank you for the response.

Large/small is bass management. It's just a stupid marketing thing to call it small/large....

I ran a second profile and tweaked the settings to 60hz... when I get a chance to make it to the shop and pick up the second sub, I’ll set it back to 80hz...

So you're sticking with bass management? I'd also try higher crossovers.
