We'll need to know what other speakers you are using, especially for the center channel if you watch a lot of movies. The reason is there is a lot of activity in the center channel, so you should really make sure you have a good blend there. I believe a good starting point is to select a frequency one octave higher than the lowest frequency your center channel can handle adequately. That way, you have a good transition between the speakers without having the Lab 2 call too much attention to itself or creating too high a level of distortion. The higher the frequency from the subwoofer, the easier it is to locate as the source. You should be fooled into believing the sound is really coming from the center speaker.

I thought the Beolab 2 was the subwoofer. Anyway, the V1 as the center channel will help. It has a specified frequency range starting at 85 Hz at the low end, so you would have to set the crossover frequency fairly high to get a smooth blend, but it might be too high and cause localization issues. Based on that, I would choose a crossover around 100 Hz and adjust slightly up and down until you are satisfied with the sound.
