I have a very simple system with an a/v receiver, two front speakers, a center speaker and two surround speakers. ( No sub at this time) The front and surround speakers are bookshelf size and not very expensive. Other that that I don't know anything about them. I don't understand crossover or some of the other things mentioned in this forum. My questions are: 1. Without a sub, should the speakers be set to large or small? 2. In determining the distance to the speakers, I have used a "sweet spot" in the middle of the room as the point to measure from. (out chairs are on different sides of the room) Is this a good method for measuring? 3. In setting the level of the speakers, I have all set at the same level except for the center speaker which is a couple of notches higher. Is this fairly normal?
I know these are dumb questions to most of you, but I'm new to this and just want to have a decent sound system to listen to TV shows and sometimes a DVD. Don't really want anything that will blow us out of the room.
Thanks for the help.
