you can set those to 50Hz or up. Whatever your preference is. Many people prefer setting speakers to small and their crossover to 80Hz according to THX specs.

I'd go 60Hz or 50Hz

I suppose this is for a LFE sub? Try running those towers at large and cross to sub at 80z with LFE on. Then you can experiment by setting the towers to small with the same sub setting.
If you have other speakers set to small and you cross to LFE lower than 80 Hz, you may be loosing some of the response in those small speakers if they are not that capable below 80Hz.
