Jarek, can we just stop talking about the Dannoy "output" at 20 Hz, just because that's Fs? Not saying the Tannoy doesn't benefit sonically from its Dannoy configuration; but, if to add LF, as you say you want to, then you need subs, since the Tannoy is tapped out at LF, as everyone who has used it agrees, and more power alone will not get more LF from that speaker. The Tannoy is the only active speaker in the Dannoy, right? Whatever, the beneficial "PR influence" is peculiar to the Dannoy configuration alone, as far as we know. Sealed Scanspeak subs without the PR "should" do it, since you are trying to limit the footprint and/or bulk of the sub(s), and sealed enclosures will be your smallest choice. And don't forget that subs sound good where they sound good, but using 2 or 3 subs (vs. 1) might well change where they sound best (generally when/where they cause the least harm). Subs in the "wrong" positions can create frustrating peaks and/or suck-outs. In fact, it can be tough to eliminate ill effects of subs. Build 'em, test 'em, laugh or cry. Once you are otherwise happy with your Dannoys, of course.
Although I get the dark matter analogy, it's not helpful at this point, since N-set appears to be set on charging ahead, regardless, and none of us can effectively include the "darkmatter quotient" into our "calculatons". Before dark matter there was phlogiston. We worked around it (albeit without having learned to to love one another).
