one other question: you mentioned that with extra subs you still would not set a crossover freq. Why not?? Wouldn't this unburden the T2s and allow better reproduction of the mids and highs and leave the lows to a much bigger box and driver to pressurize the large room??

when you set a processor left/right to large, does it include ALL the LFE info?? Isn't this something you want to avoid??

Yikes - where to begin...

First, remember this is a bi-amped speaker, not a passive system, so in a Triton Two there is nothing you can do to change the mids and highs by eliminating bass because the bass section is entirely separate. (There is SOME upper bass that is handled by the powered section, which could be effected if you run the woofer section out of gas I suppose. No one's ever heard or mentioned this though.)

By eliminating LFE and sending it to a separate subwoofer, you are taking the hardest bass load out of the L/R mains and directing it to the subwoofer, just like in a movie theater. (IMHO, if these speakers won't play loud enough on music without a separate sub and a HP crossover, you need a PA, not a hi-fi.)

If you change the Triton to "Small", the center channel bass will now be reproduced by the subwoofer instead of the L/R Tritons. If you want to add a "full-time" sub, it would thus have to be located in the front/center of the room. If you can do this, than by all means go ahead and set the Triton's to "Small" and use the standard 80Hz crossover. The overall playing ceiling will be slightly higher (maybe 3dB) in this scenario, and if the sub you buy plays louder lower than the Tritons, you'll get that too.

Lastly, if you set the L/R main to "Large" and sub to "Yes", LFE is directed to your separate subwoofer, not the L/R mains. If you do not have a sub and set the L/R mains to large then yes, they get the LFE signal, which is what is intended and is the case in most all TritonCinema setups.

Whew... hope this helps.

very helpful, thank you.
