Crossover/Audyssey question.

My front TSC LCR3-P speakers are rated at 65hz and Audyssey set the crossover between them and my BIC V1020 to 60hz. To be honest, with these crossover settings, I do feel that bass is a little less localized, not that it really was a whole lot beforehand, but it feels a little more natural, but is there a 5hz gap that I'm missing or could this damage the speakers. I don't think so, but I wanted to ask and be sure. Perhaps someone has had some experience with something like this.

Once the crossover is set around 120Hz, bass may become localized. Generally speaking, look at the +/-3dB low frequency extension of your speakers and set their crossovers about 10Hz to 20Hz higher. In most cases, a crossover of 80Hz works for most speakers. If your receiver offers a separate setting for LFE, set it to 120Hz as LFE may have frequencies up to 120Hz.
