matching sub to 6700 system - specs?

What are the low-end specs for the 6700? I thought I'd read somewhere on the Polk bb that they rolled off around 160Hz, but Crutchfield lists 130Hz as the low end. Which is right? The Polk page just gives the specs w/303. I'm looking for a sub to pair with the system, but I'm finding that the crossover on "most" subs out there tends to be in the 100-130 Hz range.

Obviously the SW303/404 would be options with an x-over of 60-160Hz, and the Aperion S-8APR has 40-180Hz adjustability, but that's about all I've found. If Crutchfield is right then the Paradigm PDR-10 (50-150Hz) could work. The much-touted HSU STF-1 is 30-90Hz, so that's out.

Any recommendations? I'm running a Marantz SR-7200 receiver in a medium sized room (~13x20) with a cathedral ceiling; looking at home theatre use primarily.

thanks, Mike

    Ok, let me be a bit more specific here.

    Does anyone have any experience pairing the RM 6700 sat. system with a sub, whether a Polk PSW 202/303/404 or some other brand? What were your impressions?

    Thanks

    I had the RM6700 paired with a PSW404 for a few months. It worked fine with the mains XO at 120, 130, or 160 HZ. According to the instruction manual, the -3 dB point for the RM6700 is 130 Hz.
