Renaming “LFE+main” brainstorming

So we have some conventional terminology in receivers, such as the LFE and the LFE+main subwoofer setting.
Also the Large/Small speaker setting. The way we define Large/small rooms. “center spread” and any other terminology. I feel these terms have room for improvement, in finding ways that they express their purpose more intuitively and without needing external reference to their function.

I’d like to invite the community to make suggestions and brainstorm on ways we could express these ideas with greater clarity and ease for the end user. In ways that truly capture and convey what the setting does.


All suggestions and insights welcome.

Many of us for years would rather have it called bass management off or on (large vs small in marketing speak), not sure what you mean about rooms. LFE+Main isn't used by everyone, some call it simply Double Bass.

LFE+main or
Double Bass , running mains as large and sub copycats the same lfe ?
Renaming it probably isn’t possible unless avr makers follow suit and do so .
Just like some brands have full range or large speaker settings .
Does anyone here use double bass? I tried it a few times can’t tell if it helps or hurts .
