I know getting a new 1050 is too exciting to take the time to read the manual but I really suggest you do. I cheated by downloading the manual before my 1050 arrived so I could read it undistracted.

There are a lot of setup instructions you will want to read so you can get the best performance out of your 1050. Pages 21 and 22 address the speaker configuration. You probably don't want to set your front speakers to large unless you have speakers that are capable of extended low-frequency response without distortion. Most speakers are best set to small and then set your cross over to a setting that is as low as your speakers can handle or to a higher setting if your tastes prefer.

Outlaw has one of the best manuals for electronics I have ever read. Clear well spoken descriptions of not only how to change the optional settings but also what the settings do and why you want to set them.

Then turn up the 1050 and enjoy !
