Where the subs still have some response above that cutoff. After MUCH experimentation, I found that approach ended up with the flattest overall measured response. I too, began with a far lower setting and could never get the third octave smooth. Which also has the benefit of balancing the power burden more towards the 120 watt subs vs. the 100 watt mains. The mains still clip first.
...that would mean pumping the mains through the cheap sub plate amp with all its distortion...
I hear you. In my case, the NAD T755 receiver has its own variable high pass filter for the mains. I run the subs directly from the LFE outs. Which meant I had four sets of variables: mains high pass frequency, subs low pass frequency, subs level and LFE level. I balanced the results with the LFE level set very low for the flattest response so that I could always crank it with the remote if needed.
I'm now convinced that having at least a bi-amplified arrangement using equalized subs is a great way to go. At least when one does not have great placement latitude and a forest of bass traps as I do in the music system. :)
