there are different ways to produce the desired results, called different things im sure. setting to small and setting the crossover low enough is the same thing.

lfe+main (sub setting) is filtering off any bass that is too low for the mains and sends it to the sub. it is all dependent on the crossover setting. sounds pretty much the same to me, as long as setting the mains to small and crossover send all that bass for the sub to reproduce instead of just losing it. i thought that was the difference, small mains and low crossover just kept the signal from going to the mains, nothing more. lfe+main allowed the bass that the mains couldnt produce to be played by the sub... with small mains and crossover, the sub would only get lfe signal and some bass could be lost... i guess the setting is actually better for not quite full range speakers playing back full range sound.
