Crossover question for RT7's

I finally got around to running EZSet on my newly acquired Harman Kardon AVR-340. It seemed to be pretty accurate and very close to what I had manually set. The only difference is that I set my fronts(all RT7's) to 80 hz while EZSet crossed them over at 60hz. Is it optimal to cross them over this low? I know the RT7's can dig down to about 50hz or so. Would this put any extra strain on the receiver? Thanks!

    No. Let them run as full range as possible.
