Are you still running the Sony STR-DE897 receiver? Does it allow for separate crossover points for each speaker? ...
No, I'm using the RX-V2700 ... but I don't think I can set the crossover for each channel

...Do a simple REW measurement to check how low your speakers can go.
I would setup the crossover frequency to whatever gives you the best curve with mains and sub(s) around your sweetspot...
I been avoiding this for a long time ... but I think I can't anymore

..., it might not be the capability of your speakers; it might just be their location. If your speakers happen to be sitting in a spot where certain low frequiencies are landing in a valley(lull), then simply moving the speakers to a better location might help. Sometimes just moving them a few inches can do it. Take multiple measurements and always confirm with a SPL meter...
Maybe they're to close to the wall (I will try to move the main, I don't know about surrounds) ... .... I also noticed when doing the auto-calibration, that the receiver didn't give the same results after each calibration ... I remember seeing different distance, levels, EQ ...
