PSW350: Low Pass Filter setting

I have the RM6600 sats with a PSW 350 sub.
Have just read the following quote from an article on the RM6000 sats with a PSW250 sub:
"With a demanding sequence from our old favourite The Matrix on Region 2, the RM6000 system struggles. The problem is with the blending of sound from the sub and sats. The sats produce a fairly thin sound (as is to be expected from such diminutive boxes), and the subwoofer has trouble filling in the gaps.
Thankfully, the adjustable low-pass filter does allow for some adjustment. Turning it up closer to its maximum of 160Hz improves matters. Turn the filter down to the minimum of 80Hz and the satellites are stranded. Adjusting the volume on the subwoofer also proves problematic, as it can be on the boomy side."
So, my question is with my setup, is there an optimal setting on my low pass filter I should be using to optimise the full dynamic range of all my speakers and not miss any bits? (Do you agree with the quote above where they recommend setting it at 160khz?
