Hey, guys. You are cracking me up here and I don't want to halt the discourse but wanted to chime in on the SSXL crossover frequency. 60-80 Hz is the general recommendation. I have found that if you set it too high, it is more dynamic but there is bass bloat in the lower register of vocal frequencies with the other speakers taking over; especially the subs. If you set it too low, it is less dynamic and the bass gets a little light as it's -3dB point is somewhere in the 60-80 range.
Bottom line, I would do what has been suggested and start at 80 Hz and see what sounds best. A lot of this comes down to personal preference. For me, I hate vocals from a subwoofer, so I have tuned my system to avoid this from happening. Others may like it. Do what makes you happy! Let us know what you zero in on. Since the T5s are new, there is not a lot of feedback on the best settings yet. It would be good to populate the forum with a little first hand experience.
Cheers,

P.S. Po, am I reading correctly that you now have your T1s? Congrats, tell us more!
