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 :-) !

fwiw, I have heard many a system with subwoofers over the years and never heard one I like.
Just too amorphous for me.
The same goes for equalizers/tone controls.
It's nice in theory, but my ears tell me something is always off or unnatural.

This even happens where the manufacturer makes the speaker and the sub. Case in point (all for speakers I owned):
Kharma 3.2, Wilson Watt Puppies, Apogee Stages.
