Just bought Monitor 30s, and PSW12!

Using a newer, but lower end Onkyo surround receiver, where should i set the crossover on the receiver, to 60 or 80, i know the monitor 30s go down to 55, and start to drop off around 62 or 63 i think, so where should i set it? I tried 60 and that sounded cleaner then 80, but thinner as well, so....am i missing a lot of sound if i keep it 80, will there be a big gap?

Go for 80. Let the sub do what it does best. Make sure you've calibrated the sub's volume level, position in the room, and phase to try and clean up the boomy bass that you might have been hearing before.

You are likely to miss more with 60 Hz crossover, since the higher it is the more the small bookshelves must be able to cover. At 63Hz Monitor 30 is already down by 3dB.

You can never go wrong with 80. I think you will be please in the long run.
