2.0 setup question?

[1QWK510]

I just ordered a set of rti a1's and was wondering if I can run them in pure direct mode or leave them set to large without damaging them . The problem is I can't use audyssey if I change them from large to small after calibration because it automatically add a sub which I do not have yet.
Thanks

What receiver are you using to run them?

Being set to "full range" or "large" or "pure direct" will not inherently damage the speakers; they can take whatever you throw at them, as long as it's good, clean power. Under-powering them at a high volume, whether set to "large" or not, could potentially damage them, as it could any speaker.

BTW, welcome to CP!

There's a ton of good info and helpful folks 'round these parts.

Run them as full. Listen to them for awhile before making a judgement. They give give a pretty good spectrum of sound for a small speaker.
