Subwoofers and Crossovers.

My system is Cary DMS-550 / Luxman L-507uxii / Spendor D7.2

After researching I decided to add an active crossover and two stereo subs to the system.

I am looking at JL Audio CR-1 as the crossover. This will take the pre-out from the Luxman and feed mains-in and setup the Luxman as separates. Is there anything else that I should look at? I am only looking at analog solutions.
After looking a REL, Rythmic, SVS, Martin Logan and JL, I am leaning towards getting two JL Dominion D110s. Would these subs be sufficient or should I be getting JL E110s? I won’t be using the internal crossovers, so primary concern is fidelity.
If I am unable to treat the room properly, I may be introducing a DSP solution just for the subwoofers.

I am looking for some advice from people who have walked this path before me on both the active crossover and the quality of D110s.

I would appreciate any advice on this process of integrating subwoofers into a two channel audio system.

Just buy a $100 usb Mike and learn the program to setup your own room , even better i bought the Svs 4000sb they are a. Smaller Svs ultra 16 great subs

And if you look in their over stock dept even cheaper and 5 % off on top of it if you buy 2 . If you can afford the Svs 4000sb they wipe the floor with all others in the $1600 price range , even the smaller 3000sb which was very good and tons of best of awards , the 3000sb weighs 50+ lbs the 4000sb 102 lbs and only a few inches bigger but driver alone is 44 lbs could not be happier.
