rsx1056 w/603s3 setup

[rick c]

I'm getting a pr of 603s3 and would like to know the proper setup.Speaker small/large/sub yes/no/etc.What crossover in the receiver should i set the speakers to.Right now i will have a missmatched center(def.tech. c2) until i can get the proper one.Would appreciate the advice that way when the spks arrive i can set them up properly right away.
P.S.I did try a similar post at B&W forum really did not get much of a response.thanks

For HT you'd be hard pressed to beat setting all speakers to small with an 80 hz cross over. That applies to nearly every speaker made unless they have built in subwoofers (even then there are times when they should be set to small as well)

Its up to you if you want to run them full range for music. If you do just go into the subwoofer setup menu and turn the sub off for stereo. The nice thing about the bass management in the 1056 is that its very flexible :T

If i set sub off in the stereo setting should i also set the speakers to large in stereo?

My 603's are set to large in Stereo Mode, and small for HT duties. Even though I have a fully capable subwoofer, the reinforcement I get from my Mains set to large and crossed over at 40 hz is significant and pleasing to my ears.
