Should I set my speakers to large and set the crossover for them to 100Hz or 80Hz or should I increase the sub crossover to 120Hz (seems high for a sub).

hi i am a casual listener so i don't know the insides outs of speakers but i do know that even if you have a gap between the cut off on your sub and speakers, the sub may stop working (if active) but the speakers are passive and so will still produce sound sop their is no worry there!!

I just bought 5 b+w speakers with a yamaha yst sw90 sub, the speakers are 4 601's and the centre cc6 speaker. I have the sub crossover set to 110 hz and the speakers set to 200HZ!!!!!!!! but this does not mean that they stop working because these speakers are amazing especially with the sub and they both work superbly well, the speakers easily hit lower than the receiver 200 hz cut off point so don't worry

What do you think about my buy? i bought these speakers with the sub and a pioneer vsx 808 rds receiver all for £100 good buy?
