Yep, they roll-off steeply below 100Hz. Doubling the cabinet volume and porting them should provide plenty low end. I think it's a case of "ok, you can have massive speakers, but the sub has to go" so hopefully it works out.

My T185s are in 49L, with a passive radiator, and I feel no need for a sub. The bass level is honest, which I actually enjoy. Rather than feeling enhanced.
Which reminds me, when I bought them the guy demod them on an old Marantz 4430 and they sounded great. I still need to get an old Marantz myself.

With your tannoys? I guess once they're ported you won't need a sub. And it's only due to being sealed on low power you need one now.
