Hi everyone! I need some advice on setting the crossover on my Marantz SR4500.

First, here's the relevant info:
L/R/ + Surrounds: Paradigm Atom (base extension to 55 Hz (DIN)).
Center: Paradigm CC-170
Sub: Paradigm PDR-12

Since the Atoms -3db point is 55Hz, I was going to set the receiver crossover at 80Hz until I read this in the manual:

When the speaker size is set to 'small' [which I did for the Atoms] "frequencies lower than approx. 100Hz will be output from the subwoofer".

Does that mean that with the 'small' speaker setting that I should set the receiver crossover to 100Hz as well? If I leave it at 80, wouldn't I have a hole from 80Hz-100Hz?

P.S. I set the crossover on the subwoofer to almost max so that its crossover would not overlap with the reciever. Is there any downside to doing that?

Thanks!!
