BoB is right on the money. No matter what the slope is (OK, I just ignore it anyway ), I cross mine over at similarly, anywhere from 1/2 to 1 full octave above the -3 dB point for each speaker. Same reasons: don't want the imposed slope of the 950's crossover "too close" to the natural roll off of the speaker.

Another interesting data point is that for a while, I had a very good, but very bass challenged center channel: the Vandersteen VCC Signature. (They limit the bass response on purpose to minimize the proximity effects to a TV screen.) I used a 120 Hz crossover, and while I never specifically listened for bass localization from the center channel to the sub, I never noticed it either.
