If you have a sub woofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your FRONT
speakers and leave the sub woofer selected. This may not, however, yield the best bass results.
Depending on the size and shape of your room, you may actually experience a decrease in the amount
of bass due to what is called "low frequency cancellations." If you have a sub woofer, listen to the bass
response with the FRONT speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge
which sounds best.
The safest option in this case is to route all the bass sounds to the sub woofer by selecting SMALL for
the FRONT speakers.
