Mating Quad 2905's with crossover and subs?

I love the 2905's, but I can't take their dynamic or bass limitations. Has anyone got any experience with crossing the quads say with a pair of REL's and a crossover (a Bryston Xover is what I'm thinking)? If so, what were your impressions, and at what frequency did you Xover to the subs?
I'm thinking I could get the dynamics out of the quads, if I were to pass the lows to the subs, and let the subs handle the bottom.
Any thoughts, remarks, impressions, or advice would be greatly appreciated :-) !

Undougtedley you'll get more pronounced bass if that is what you want. The amps in subs are optimized to funct within a certain frequency gain. I have heard your speakers but only for an audition in a store. It would be very easy to overwhelm the Quad's out put in the in the mids and highs. I found them to be a very polite speaker, youll have to dial in the subs ver carefully not to blow the rest of the music away.
I should have said at the outset that using an external crossover will work in dividing the signal for the subs.
