Awesome thread.
I'm not an audiophile, my hearing isn't the best (but not so bad that I can't hear obvious faults), but I do find the tech interesting.
I have a small room (3.5m x 3.75m / 11.5ft x 12.25ft) with a setup that I have had for a little over two years now.
I mainly watch movies and TV with it, but occasionally listen to music as well.
(I bought the
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City Music Hall blu-ray which sounds excellent).
Now for my question:
Given my setup, what should I have the LFE crossover set at?
The center / satellite speakers are listed as 60Hz on the low end and the sub is listed as 100Hz on the high end.
Would it be better for the sub to handle the 60-100Hz range or the satellites?
At what frequency can a human no longer tell what direction sound is coming from?
I probably won't be able to tell the difference and I'm currently quite happy with the performance of the system, but still it would be nice to know what it should be set at.
Here is the setup:

This thing made a huge difference.
I had the sub on a wood floor without this before and the floor, the walls and everything else would rattle.
Now with this underneath it, there is very little of that left.
FYI (unrelated to my question), in my computer room I have this:
