Limiting a full range driver

My speakers, Reference 3A NEFES, have 2 full range 8" drivers. My question; is it better to limit the frequencies to 100 Hz and higher. My thinking is that the lower, sub 100 Hz signals interfere with the midrange too much with their larger cone movements. Or, is there no benefit to cutting out these frequencies?

I would just keep the low pass setting of the sub at it's lowest setting (many are 40 or 50hz) to keep it well out of the lower male vocal range, which typically starts around 80hz, but some basement dwellers can get near 60hz.    I would only attempt to limit the LF of the main speakers if this doesn't give a satisfactory blend.
