REL and VA Bach's

Just received my REL Storm III and after my first crack at dialing it in, I ended up with a crossover setting of 36HZ and hi level gain around 1:30 on the dial. My amp is an Odyssey stratos stereo. I believe the Bach's listed bottom end is 38Hz.
Curious about where others have their crossover set at.
I tracked down REL's recommended test track and am going to try again and see what the results are.

There is usually is a gap between the sub setting and the speakers with a REL set for 2 channel audio. Many have a wider gap. So you are on the right track.

My Rel Strata fell in at 43 hz with a volume setting at about 12 oclock. That's with Thiel 1.6's (bottom at 40 hz). I'm sure that the room and the sub's position in the room affects the setting.

I have spica angelus (no idea on the specs) large floorstanders with a recessed bass that goes very deep but not so loud. My REL strata is set to 27Hz and about 2pm on the volume. Room is about 9ft by 10ft.
