If you have low distortion and sharp filters 48dB maybe one octave above 80 -> 160Hz crossover is not possible to locate.
In a small room the wave propagation also makes it hard to detect directions, at 80Hz the wave length is 6,8 meter, much longer than the width of the room itself. Still trying to reach more than 20dB in distortion reduction. Hard....

I'd only add,
1. if the woofer is located in the vicinity of the mids, you could prolly crossover quite high, and
2. with music, all the instruments have most of their audible (that is, detectable and locatable) sound north of the bass, even if we are delighted by the fundamental low note.
For many years, I had my woofer about 15 feet to the left of my left mid (being a Klipschorn, in the corner of the long wall of a large room). I don't recall ever hearing any music sound diverted to the left side.
Being 83, I remember there were various tricks tried in the period shifting from single speakers to stereo after the 1950s.
