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 :-) !

Wilson Benesch Torus sub is the best match I've heard. Unfortunately, rather expensive and hard to find. The Torus has the speed without the big box woofer bloat.

That said, I've always liked Quads without a sub in a medium sized room. I've owned at least five different subs used in conjunction with my box/cone speakers, and in the end, never kept any of them. Perfect integration is almost impossible to my ear. Another idea might be to try some Martin Logans that have the sub already built in.
