Crossover settings for polk speakers

I was just wondering what crossover settings I should set my speakers at as the crossovers that the audyssey set were way too low. My fronts are monitor 60 series twos, my center is a monitor 15c, my surrounds are r30s, and my surround rears are t15s. Is 80hz all around good enough or should I change some settings.

For your mains, I would experiment with 80-100Hz.
15c, r30 @100-110Hz
t15 @90Hz

I like an octave above... for me it sounds better rolling off to my subs. YMMV.

I've seen another gentleman that says he likes it more around 1/2 octave. Again, YMMV

Please describe too low? I'd start at 80 Hz for the fronts and probable 100 Hz for the surrounds and see how that sounds.

The receiver config my fronts at large. Should I leave it as is or put them small

Large/small simply means don't use bass management or not. With a sub(s) I prefer to use bass management and have my subs handle the lower bass. I'd also think 80 is a good starting point, and try 60, 70, 90 and 100 too....
