LFE should be directed to the large speakers if Sub is set to none. Read some articles on "bass management" or the manual for your pre/processor or AVR.

There are devices out there which do not properly implement bass management. I know my old Technics SH-AC500D didn't do it for DTS (so I had to use an analog active crossover for bass management and phantom center). And some more recent AVR had a bug where bass management didn't work for PCM stereo sources (possibly the Onkyo 608).

While most surround processors/receivers will do this (reroute to the mains if they're set as large), it could easily lead to speaker damage. See the first line of #3:
