Yes, you should designate the fronts as large and the surrounds/center as 'small'. Even if you were able to cross the HTPS400s at 40Hz, I think you'd be happier crossing them at 80Hz. At 40Hz there be such limited signal going to them they'd be under-utilized. As I recall 80Hz is the THX standard.
My own system is set up with two PT800/PS1400 coupled as towers set to 'large'. The PC600 center and PT800 surrounds are all set to 'small'. And there's one additional PS1400 set up as a sub. It all sounds very good for both home theater and audio only.
Oh, and I used them to elevate these new metallic speakers I picked up

The Velodyne crossover frquency is adjustable.
Looked in manual, Low Pass is adjustable between 15 & 199 Hz or off. Slope can be set to 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 dB/octave.
I also checked. You are correct if you connect the SMS-1 to the LFE or SW out but the crossover is for all of the speakers. I want to crossover the L/R Front separately. This can be done if you connect the SMS-1 to the L/R out of the receiver PRE-OUT then back to the L/R amp inputs but the crossover is fixed at 80-Hz when using this configuration.
LOL after the last PT250 demo, decided I could no longer stay apart from the vocals and air of the PS. While very very satisfied with my L7s, those euphoric vocals are something I've wanted since auditioning the L7 for purchase and "accidentally" hearing the PT800s mounted behind them-- future visits to "Casa del Ti" furthered confirmed what's haunted me.
After noting the auction frequency had dropped to nil, and a little pocket change came my way, when this set came up looking near new, with boxes, manual and mounting brackets, I figured under $450ea. including shipping was reasonable risk. Got em Saturday, and have been screwing around running L7/PT800 A/Bs using the Oppo83SE to send everything under 100Hz to my one sub via the MCH analog outs.
The A/B certainly confirms most of what I thought, that the L7 really is a fine fine speaker, but the 704G just can't compete with the 904Ti (?), and I'm sure the midbass/tweet delta is contributing differences I'm not able to quantify just yet.
I'm kicking myself a bit because the seller had those two near new looking PS1400s that should be sitting below my PT800s for the same price as the PTs. Funny side note, when I explained the situation to my wife while perching them atop the L100s, she exclaimed "why would you buy half a speaker?
So in the meantime, I've got a rig, without a good way to elevate them securely with a 5 yr old animal running around, and my <100Hz all coming from one sub, but hey it's a start I guess.
