Midbass : HP @ 31hz, 3nd order (works ok at 40hz, 2nd order)., LP @ 3.2khz, 2nd order

Tweeter : HP @ 4khz 2nd order.

It might work for your setup, it might not. Try listening only to the tweeter (and only the midbass) and play with the crossover points and slopes untill it sounds the way you like it. Don't go lower than 2.5khz and 2nd order on the tweeter.

Hmm, I've used the AYA and EMMA sq cd's, along with some Liquid tension experiment, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Metallica and some trance / house. Mostly music I was familiar with and knew how it should sound.
