I want to add to your comments on set up. My mains are Magnepan MMGs. With those I expected the appropriate crosover point would be 50-60Hz. Since I lucked onto an pro type audio spectrum analyzer on e-bay ($300) last year I was able to get a better look at room response and found that the hest crossover point was 40hZ - as low as it can be set.

I mention this not to advise setting every XO that way but to caution that one should not put to much faith in the markings on XO, phase or volume knobs. Also to be aware that condition in a specific room can moot expectations. A RadioShack SPL and a test disk are a small investment with a big payoff. If one can borrow, rent, otherwise obtain a good RTA the process is easier still.
