Hi! It's me again. I have a question for setting up my speakers. Do I need to configure my speakers into "small" for my 2 tower speakers that connected to my mc7100 mcintosh power amp when I connect my sub woofer in my AV Reciver? Thanks in advance.
That is recommended, yes.

You don't "need" to, but it would result in better sound quality.
I'm assuming your sub is a competent sub.

My sub is rxw12 and it is amplified. What do you think about that? I am thinking of getting the marantz sr5010 rather than Yamaha Rx v773 coz it says at the back of sr5010 that it can drive 4 to 16 ohms.

It looks like a nice sub for music. Weak in the low end for HT. If you do not yet own it, you can do better for the money going with a company that primarily makes subs (like Rythmik, PSA, Hsu, SVS, Reaction Audio).
However, I'm sure it does a good job with music and will do a better job producing 30Hz to 80 Hz while unloading the deeper bass from the speakers and AVR. Be sure to use Audyssey or YPAO to EQ the sub in your room. Come back for setup tips because Audyssey will likely set your speakers to large and they should be set to small.

I don't know how the 5010 would compare against the V773 for power. I do prefer Audyssey to Yamaha's YPAO and most people like DynamicEQ (an Audyssey feature).

I have it already since I bought those monitor audio speakers. I don't know much about sub features like the one that you mention either a company that creates sub and if give me any idea that will be a big help for me.

About the Yamaha Rx v773 and marantz sr5010 which one works best for turntable and can I connect a turntable with those recievers?

Thanks!

Neither has a phono input, so you will need an external phono pre-amp.
Some turntables have a phono pre-amp built-in.
I cannot advise you on this. I don't use vinyl.
