Jim,This is one area that standardization (Dolby, DTS and THX) has improved the delivered experience to the consumer.
I must be missing something in your description though, because you mention placing a 35Hz LPF on the subwoofer channel. Unless you are sending > 35Hz info to a (nearly) full range speaker, not clearly stated, and has its own peril/issues with cancellation effects within the crossover region.
As far as inserting an arbitrary crossover (as Telarc is doing), that's great although those with full range speakers will feel they are being ripped off a little. Telarc's arbitrary choice is as good as any other though, and will work fine on almost every system. I'm sure there's some setup out there somewhere where this is not an ideal solution.
