I set my speakers to small and have the 1723 tower speakers with an external amp. For any individuals who prefer the large setting when listening to music one quick and easy method is to do “Direct” on most receivers as it will bypass the bass management and if you are listening to stereo it will bypass the bass management of the LFE subwoofer assuming you are using the LFE connection from the receiver. It can usually be fine with 1 button. Then you can change back to surround format.
