I recently had a visit by a close friend, who is an accomplished modern jazz saxophonist but a recording/mixing engineer, running his own small studio. We listened to some bass-heavy material on my Dannoys, the bass was acoustic - piano and drums. Damn good bass, damn good. I want more of it. I'm slowly coming back to the idea of a passive radiator sub to match the complicated phase behavior of PR in Dannoys. Sth like this:

1. 40+Hz sealed box with 2x10" ScanSpeak
2. One Scanspeak active, one is passive
3. Dannoys go unfiltered not to mess with its beautiful bass 
4. Subs low passed somewhere around 60Hz to be determined exactly

Any thoughts? Hopefully the subs would reinforce the Dannoys rather than interfering with them because of the similar phase pattern at LF. My knowledge of speakers is poor, do you know of any software when I could simulate such an arrangement before building? There are lots of programs to simulate sealed/BR boxes but haven't found one for passive radiators.
