I think this is going to be a good discussion.
I have a bit of a different setup. For audio I use an older receiver (130wpc) without a sub for my 6T's so they are "full spectrum." I really like how they sound for this. For movies I use my onkyo 805 (130wpc) with them set to 60hz along with my 6C. They sound great for musical DVDs but engaging the 8D for the lower frequencies really gives the low notes a kick. For example on movies with large booms I much prefer the 8D. Now we can discuss how the two receivers are different and that audio through the older receiver is inherently different because the onkyo internally decodes while the oppo dvd player decodes CD's for the older receiver....etc but I am only trying to make the point that the 6T's for music sound best when set to large and for movies using a sub really gives it a kick.
I'm not sure about the denon but with the 805 when I set my fronts to large it asks if I want to double to bass with the sub. I tried it and didn't like it because I felt the low frequencies echoed and it wasn't "tight." I may not have played with it enough since Nick doesn't seem to have the same problem.
I listen to most of my music as 2 channel but when I've played with the onkyo's all stereo thing I thing the 6C sounds equally deep as the 6T's with the 60hz cutoff. If yours is new, maybe give it a chance to open up a bit.
Just my 2 cents.
