The crossover of 60-Hz is the upper frequency of your subwoofer's frequency response. In other words, you've set the subwoofer to respond to frequencies below 60-Hz and it will respond to very low frequencies even below 20-Hz since it is a ported subwoofer. The only way you will know if you need a rumble filter is to observe the diaphragm to see if it is pumping when you play a record. If your phono stage reproduces ultra low frequencies as mine does, you will observe subwoofer pumping, which in turn produces intermodulation distortion. You are correct that a rumble filter introduces phase shift, but subwoofer pumping along with its associated intermodulation distortion is less desirable than phase shift caused by a rumble filter.
