It really depends upon the quality of the subwoofer you are using, what are you running as a subwoofer with these?

For larger 'mains' like yours, i believe 80Hz is a good starting point.

Less is more with subwoofers, so it's usually better to ensure their contribution isn't obvious. As soon as it is, then lower the level a shade.

Good luck!

Hi, im running a diy version of the bk Monolith if that helps, please note my tannoys are the smaller stand mount versions.

Sorry for delay but my post keep bouncing back as spam.
