Frequency cutoff for large/small speakers?

I'm a new DC1 owner so forgive me if there is a well known answer to my question. I didn't see in the manuals how to determine if a speaker is considered large or small. I am using Aerial Accoustics 10Ts/CC3/SR3s for LR/C/Sides and NHT Super 1's for the rears.

Obviously the 10Ts are full range, but the CC3 and SR3s go down to 55 Hz and
the S1's to 57, I believe. I have set the speaker sizes all to large and as a whole they sound fantastic. I just want to make sure that there isn't the possibility of damaging any of my speakers if I leave the settings at "large". So, should I keep them as large or set them back to small?

BTW, I really love the DC1. After spending much time configuring and testing various modes I couldn't be happier with it. It is a big step up from the Chiro C-800/C5.1 I had before this.

The effect modes can add quite a bit to even 2-channel music. I read through some of the messages reguarding bypass vs. the effects modes and I found that by using Music Surround and de-emphasizing the center channel (and changing a few other parameters) I basically had virtually all of the clarity of bypass *and* the spaciousness provided by the sides and rears. I am extremely pleased with this result after having been slightly disappointed reading the discussion about the inferiority of the effects modes to bypass. I *really* like this preamp!
