Of course, it's the top end of the woofers/subs that has to blend in with the bottom end of the Dannoys, and you can get gain at X/O frequency from the subs, if it sounds OK to do it. I guess that means coming up with an "average" of the sum and diff...

Well, the Vitavox is also a "paper driver" that has needs like the Tannoy (unless it is the "horn version"...), meaning the size and nature of the enclosure will affect the Vitavox sound, as well. I always thought the Altec 515 Bs were OK up to 500 H...
