Hi Guys,

I'm running quite a modest surround setup by a lot peoples standards comprising of a Q Acoustics 2000 5.1 Speaker system and a Yamaha RX-V675 AV Receiver.

Today I purchased a set of Q Acoustics 2050i Floorstanders as I wanted a bit more oomph with music but at a reasonable price, they seem to have reviewed well and I really enjoyed the sound of them when I went and had a listen.

My question is, now I have a pair of large speakers at the front of my set up how should I set the crossover for the sub to give optimal bass?

Also would it be an advantage to Bi-Amp these speakers as they support it as does the AV Receiver?

Thank you for any help you can offer,

R.

Crossover on receiver 80hz, crossover on sub at max, all speakers set to small.

I cant advise on bi amping as I've never done this.

I too would recommend the above settings, regardless of whether your speakers are physically "Large" or "small". However, since selling my subwoofer last year i decided to bi-amp and revert back to large. Not sure what to do when i get a sub back in the new year.
 
Thanks chaps, when I get a spare afternoon I'll get them set up :)
