    You'll need to provide more information as to which T series you do have.

    T15 set to 80hz
    T30 set to 80-100hz Probably 100 hz the T30 doesn't seem to have good extension.
    T50 set to 80hz
    Set the Subwoofer to 120hz.

    LFE plays from 120hz and down so setting the subwoofer to play there is correct.
    The T series speakers all should be set to 80hz and if it's possible the center to 100. This way the center will not struggle when lower frequencies are asked of it. Let the subwoofers do that job and your overall system will perform better.

    I don't have a lot of theater setup experience, so I'm asking why setting the sub to 120 and not 80Hz or 100Hz?

    So no holes in the frequencies. Those T series could drop like rock at their lower end and then there could be a gap in the frequencies for the smaller speakers.

    Shouldn't the slope cover it? I would have thought 120 would start to muddy up.
    Is this just for this particular case?
