Oppo 83SE Analog Setup


Does anybody know what the difference is in the Oppo 83SE when the surround speakers are changed from small to large? I change the setting to large and it seems better. What is thr down side? Does it change the crossover point for the sub? I am using the Oppo 83SE with analog outs. I now have a Bel Canto Pre6 GenII I am using. I am trying to figure out the best setting for the Oppo using it with the Pre6. I have the Oppo 83SE set to 5.1 and I am using Revel M20 speakers with 2 Revel B15a subs.

Setting the surround (or any) speakers to large eliminates the crossover and sends a full-range signal to the speaker instead of diverting bass to the subwoofer.

"Best" is subjective and situational. With M20s, potent but small speakers, and a pair of B15s, I would prefer to set them as small but the crossover/bass management in the Oppo is primitive. That is the major problem with going analog.

I have read that, too, and I have also read that Oppo believe that MediaTek (who makes the unit) has not placed a high priority on that issue.
