Maybe 90 db is a bit much for music. Regardless my ported sub won't sound good for music anyway. I'm currently testing a JL Audio Fathom F113 (sealed) and a HSU VTF15H mk2 (ported). You would be hard pressed to notice a difference between the two. It's very slight and only noticeable if I a/b content but I can tell you with 100% confidence the ported VTF15H is GREAT for music. It's not leaving my house.

That's far to high with the M80's. I set mine at 60HZ but you could go as low as 40HZ for music if you wanted

Agreed with Wid. Almost always you never want to go higher than 80hz due to localization. With the m80s 60hz is a great starting point. Also try not to overlap the bass from the towers and sub. Sometimes it's good sometimes not. Set the crossovers to blend at same starting position. So 60hz high pass for m80 and 60hz low pass for sub. Play around with settings a bit to see what works best for your setup.

LFE is the correct setting. That setting gives cross - over control to your receiver.
