    For 2ch music, I'd set the DM604's to LARGE.
    For multichannel music, I'd set them to LARGE aswell (allthough, depending on the quality of your sub, you could try setting them to SMALL).
    For HT, set them to SMALL (assuming your sub can go lower and is capable of reproducing superior bass).

    I'd set your LCR 600 to SMALL for both music and HT...(the former HTM1 and the current HTM1D, HTM2D and HTM3S are the only B&W centers that COULD be set to large)...

    But as always, you might prefer the results differently, so try the different options...

        Wow.. nice amp for 604s.. bet it manhandles them pretty well. My 8008BB sure did. Your amp would be perfect for a pair of 803S/Ds..

          Right now I am using the PSB Alpha 6 but uprading to a Servo 15 in the next couple of weeks.
          The Bryston just lights up my 604's but I'm holding out right now and waiting to get a pair of 802's and an HTM2 and ugrade my amp to 2 7B's and utilize my 4B for my rears.
          Things would be so much easier without a wife.

            Speaker settings...Large/Small???
            by sdecker
            I just bought a pair of Klipsch KG 5.2's. I now have 5.2's as my mains and surrounds and 4.2's as center surrounds. My center is a KG 2.2v.

            The preamp is a Rotel 1055, with a Rotel 985mkII and a RB 1070 powering the speakers. Subs are 2 SVS 20-39's and a 25-31PCi.

            B&W HTM3S and HTM4S: Large or Small settings?
            by K.K.
            This is from the B&W thread regarding choosing the HTM3S and HTM4S for HT purpose. I am starting this over here in case there are other HT experts who uses either of these centre speakers who can advise and in case the Moderator thinks I have broken the rules in the B&W thread.

            which speakers can be regarded as "large"
            by wireseeker
            I have two systems I am setting up, both rotel and boston combo. The first has a set of VRM-90 boston speakers, top of the line, can these be regarded as large speakers in the speaker set up? Amp is 200wx5. Using a small setting and running all bass throgh the sub just sounds weak. Turn them to large...

            Large vs. small speaker playback in HT
            by subynube
            I am ready to purchase a new pre/pro as well as amp. Looking at the emotiva set up LMC-1 and LPA-1 processor and amp. I was reading the instruction download, and it says that when the front speakers are set to "large", meaning they are capable of putting out below 60hz information, then...

            Rotel receivers and speaker set up....
            by madmac
            Hello all,

            I notice that many people are setting up their Rotels with the fronts set to 'large' . I my opinion, this is a mistake. Unless you are using front speakers with 10in front firing drivers or bigger, the best way (Especially for the 75watt/ch Rotel receivers) is to have all...
