Hi!

I'd tried to find an answer for this, asked Marantz but they don't write back.

I'm VERY new with audio/video and home theatre.

This weekend, i'd bought different things for my home theater. A set of KEF 2005.2 speakers for 5.1 and a pair of Paradigm Monitor 7 full range speakers (for music).
I'd also bought a Marantz SR7001.

It's not "high end" but here, it sounds honest.

When I look at the KEF documentation, they tell me to setup all the speakers at "SMALL" to avoid too much bass in it. On the other hand, my 2 Paradigm speakers need the full range of bass to be used properly (i think). The Marantz dont give me the chance to setup the FRONT A (KEF) at SMALL and the FRONT B (Paradigm) at LARGE. I always need to change it.

The only think I can do is to setup all the speakers at SMALL and use the subwoofer below 80hz for the bass. It doesn't sound as good as when it's only the two paradigm playing. (but not very much worse. I'd say less punchy)

Is it possible to setup different values for A and B on this amp? So I don't have to switch all the settings each time I switch from music to cinema or vice-versa? It's quite annoying...

Is the frequencies below 80hz will be way better on the paradigm than on the kef 2005.2 subwoofer?

I'm confused. Nothing in the manual.

Thank you very much for your answers. Please excuse my english, not my first language.
