Surround speakers = Frequency response = Channels

Hi all, thinking of getting a pair of Polk OWM3 for the wides channels, but they go down to 100, I have every other channel cut off at 80 and LFE at 80, I don't want to set the LFE higher than 80, if I cut the wides at 100, would that be a big difference?

Their inherent rolloff at 100 Hz will create a 20 Hz “hole” that may or may not be noticeable. But I suspect that the overall experience won’t be affected much because of the small supporting role of those speakers.
