When using the option LFE+Main you can choose either setting the speakers to small or large. However setting them to small defeats the purpose of using LFE+Main. Setting your speakers to small and LFE+Main is the same as setting your speakers to small and LFE Norm. For the LFE+Main setting to work as intended you have to set your speakers to large (it should not even allow you to set your speakers to small using LFE+Main but it does).

Run them large. I can't believe anyone with a set of 80's wouldn't do so. The bass may not reach as low as a sub, but what they do have is tighter and you'll still get LFE and bass to the sub below whatever you have your X-over set to. My opinion anyway....

When using the "+" setting, if anything the tendency is for the combined bass from the M80s and sub to be excessive(assuming that the M80 woofers are working properly), so it's hard to see why the bass output wouldn't be adequate. maybe he just wants really excessive bass beyond what the M80 and subwoofer together?

When I was at Randy's (Sirquack's) house to "help" demo this setup for another guy, he (not Randy) must have said it half a dozen times that he thought that the subs were still on when in fact it was just the M80 fronts. I chalk it up to good acoustical treatment of the room. Randy has taken the time to control first reflections and put in large bass traps which really show in that I was blown away by the performance of the M80 fronts vs. my M60 fronts (in my room that is a terrible acoustic nightmare).

Room is critical. The lowest I can set my M80s is 70hz (the setting I am using). My right M80 is too close to the corner and bass becomes sooo boomy (under 70hz) that it becomes annoying.
Otherwise, I would be tempted to put the crossover at 40hz, as long as the bass mixes well with the other sub-woofer(s).

 You're doing that on purpose.
