How do you high pass your main speakers?

If you have a point to make, I would suggest you state it. I made some very clear points and you can’t address any of them apparently. so I am assuming that you just like talking trash about peoples input.
The only point of ignorance I have is that there is a multitude of factors you failed to mention. But I would expect you to even know what they are.

As I stated If you have the money to spend play any silly games you wish, but you would have to write a complete essay to even begin to describe what you are hearing or hope to achieve. You give One single parameter that by itself is useless. I mentioned just a couple of items that you probably don't have the background to deal with and only wished to give a little caution before you make some EXPESNSIVE mistakes. But you'll are smarter than everyone here. Of course that is why you  are asking questions of the public to begin with correct?

 You see I actually studies Electronics Engineering in College and have been designing speakers since the late 70s and I have even told stories about mistakes I have made doing some of the same types of things people are asking here, just to show that messing with something isn't always the best answer.

Also Tony, Before you go complaining to management as some have in the past, I would suggest you actually READ what I have and HAVN'T said. Notice that I never cut down anyone else advise. Other that to caution you and to give you some SOUND advise on reviewing YOUR motives, I didn't cut you down Your equipment, or your choices. I suggested that MAYBE your speakers might be deficient or inferior, but you opened with that! I just gave one of dozens of reason that there are NO SIMPLE SOLUTIONS to what you are attempting to do.

I personally believe you should set your crossover point by ear.

That practice has worked well for me.  Knowing the frequency response curve of my speakers does help as a starting point.  When I finish setting up my two subs, I subtly miss them when they are turned off.  A remote control to adjust the sub’s volume +/- 1,2,3 helps optimize for different listening levels and musical material.

"Before you go complaining to management as some have in the past,"

Why am I not surprised.

You are correct. The ATC don't go much below 55Hz, but I knew that before I bought them.

I agree 100% with your assessment. I just thought I would ask the question so I could see if there was something I was missing. I also used the speakers as the front speakers in a HT application via HT bypass so limiting there response is not ideal. 

All things considered I am very happy with the sound quality as the system is currently configured, so I am guessing I may just play around with a slightly lower crossover frequency for now.
