Configuring my Yamaha RX-V375

[DSound]

Hope everyone is doing great!

Finally settled on my speakers.. I'm almost done with my theater setup and installing my electric roll down screen for my projector.. However, I used the auto configuration on the receiver, I did setup the mic on a tripod (ear level)... The auto setup places my front and center on small? Is there a reason why? My front LR are Klipsch F20 and center is Klipsch RC-42.. Does this mean anything? Thank you in advance, I promise I'll stop bugging you guys soon with all the questions.

Regards,
David

Keep it on small, and let the sub pick up the lower end

I have small speakers and the auto calibration set mine to large I changed them back to small and re-ran it. Just because you have towers does not mean they go so low that you would not cross them to a sub, especially if it set them with a lower crossover point. So I agree with ziegl on leaving them small for now.

Here is a great read on small vs. large settings that I have found extremely helpful.

I think so. I like to see pics of others setups.

Strange that your RX-V375 auto setup sets your Klipish towers up as "small". My RX-A 730 auto setup sets my Paradigm studio 20.5 bookshelfs as "large". I run them full range/large for music (2 channel) but for HT (multichannel), small may be a better setting letting the sub play the lower frequencies as was said above.

I'm guessing it has something to do with placement/room accoustics why the auto setup chooses the settings it does cause your Klipish towers claim -3db down into the high 30's and my paradigms are -3db at a similar frequency if not higher.

Yes, it's strongly encouraged.
