Using High Level + LFE Sub and Avr Setting lfe + main small large

Hi i have now completed my living room set up. I am using the following.

Denon 3700H
Monitor Audio In wall l/R CP-WT150
Monitor Audio In wall C CP-WT240-LCR
Monitor Audio Rears Radius 45
Ceiling speakers for atmos x 2 CP-CT150
i have two BK electronics XLS200

i am currently using the LFE and using the high level inputs using the neutrik speakon connector for the 2 channel stereo and music. BK similar to REL and MJ acoustics all have recommended to do this set up with their subwoofers. i think they are all pretty much the same subs and have some sort of relationship between the companies at some point

The question i have is that all the forums, youtube videos all say set the amps to LFE + Main and to small speakers with crossovers set to 80 on speaks and i have set my bass lfe i think to 100hz at the minute. having read an article on RELs website it seems that this is in contradiction to this and REL recommends speakers to large and LFE input all the way to 250hz. it seems that they are using the Marantz AVR. i know the speakers i have would be classed as small and the frequency response for them is 75 Hz – 25 kHz.


Has any one got any experience in any similar set ups or is it a case of sending the wife and child out for the whole day and listen to the various options. i am still to try the REW software to calibrate the subwoofers based off this Audioholics youtube video.


any help on the matter would be much appreciated.

regards
Simon

Can't imagine doing the Rel thing myself. No one suggested getting rid of the high level connection and using the LFE setting?
