I'm not OBG, but...

IF you have a dedicated subwoofer (or two or three), I agree to set all the speakers to "small."  So if your main speakers are not TOO large, set to "small."

Of course if you have some nice front left/front right speakers, like NHT 3.3's, Snells, DunTechs, Large Polks, etc., I would set those speakers to large & not sure you would even need a subwoofer...   ;D

Thanks.  I will set the fronts to small.  They are Silverline Preludes, which have two mids and a tweeter, so added the sub.  will keep ya'll posted on the results.

And you do not want to be OBG, trust me on that  :P....

I agree completely with George - ignore Audyssey's decision on speaker size and set all the x-over points to 80Hz except for the LFE signal which should be set to 120hz (after running Audyssey - don't ignore the good things the program does otherwise!).    Trying lower set points is generally a pain even if your speakers can handle it because of sev reasons not to expound on here, so rec u let the sub handle stuff below 80hz in ht mode.

While at it - if Audyssey barks back that there is a phase issue with a speaker or two and you know they wiring is right, ignore Audyssey,  don't change the wiring to make the software happy.

I'm not OBG or a snob, but I'm going to play a snob here...NO ODDyssey on Yamahas.  :P YPAO is what they call their version...same destination, smoother route.  >:D

Jim Pittsburgh:
No matter the system, make sure the mains are set to SMALL. Also, IMHO/ experience/ hearing, if you have larger full spec speakers, I have found that 60htz a better match.... look at the reviews for your speakers and see how low they go without roll off. and try not to duplicate any of the spectrum, between the sub and the mains/ rear,  unless room acoustics dictate otherwise.
