Will Subwoofer Help?

Although
1. My speakers have dual 10" subwoofers crossing over at 180Hz;
2. Speakers have 4ohm nominal impedance and 90+ sensitivity;
3. Power amp runs 300 WPC into 4ohom load,

nevertheless I'm wondering whether one (or more) good subs, set at
80 or 100Hz, would improve low end precision by taking full responsibility
for the very bottom range.

If so, given the power amp is taking preamp's XLR output, any problem in just using the single-end
output to feed the sub?

It would depend on the preamp, but normally I would think using both the XLR and RCA outputs from your preamp should not be a problem. But you will have both your main and subs producing the same low frequencies so you may have to play around with the subs crossover point to get them to mesh.
And you might want to play around with the speakers position in the room.
