Phantom vs center in bedroom?

[Kingnoob]

I don't use a center in my bedroom. I have a couple of small tower speakers that are only about 6 feet apart and a 12" sub. That and a 55" TV make watching almost as good as the home theater in the family room. Viewing distance is about 10 feet.

I’m trying to decide if i should run these full or small.
I ran these full a few times although they stop at 40hz ..

Pioneer SP-FS52 Floorstanding Tower Speaker Review

Bottom Line: Very decent floorstanding tower speakers that are about as inexpensive as it gets. Best for smaller rooms, and would likely benefit from a paired subwoofer. Significantly higher powered options are available if you're willing to spend not all that much more money. Floorstanding...

Without a subwoofer you should run your speakers in full mode, with a subwoofer it is up to you and what works best for you. In my bedroom I have a pair of two way floor standing speakers with small woofers. I run them full since the midrange needs the small woofers. The sub just fills in the low frequencies below about 60 or 70hz.

Sub is also in this room , I just ran bass to both because I was playing music on them for movies I’m not sure if I’d do that or not maybe ?? Pioneers don’t produce anything under 40hz but full is lowest setting on this avr there’s no 50-60 hz just small & large settings.
