I'm using the LFE output on the receiver and using the sub's crossover. The sub only comes up to 90hz, so I have that turned all the way up.

Pretty certain I have my speakers set to "Large" in the receiver setup, (but I will double check that).

Is this just too small a main speaker combined with a sub that is built for more low end? Should I be getting more from these 8" 3way Monoprice mains?

Or do I have something setup wrong? Ideas?

Thanks
IIRC it's good to set all your speakers to small even with capable speakers but it may depend on your speakers. I have some big old three way speakers but I still use the small setting. Of course having done my initial set up, I forget half of what I've read and the reasoning why I set up my Denon the way I did.

Here's a thread on it.
