If you want more bass, add it with reverb injection. You can have all the bass you want and you will not disturb Dannoy's beauty.
I'm curious, have you ever integrated ULF to a system with a sealed bottom end and one with a ported bottom end and noticed a difference in the two?
Attempting to use high order filters in a system with Dannoy seems crazy to me. There are reasons Dannoy sounds attractive and one of those is the simplicity of the filtering.
Another is how the scanspeak driver dampens the Tannoy. Remember the scanspeak has shorting rings in its motor so it serves to hold the flux (and therfore the cone in this case) in place so its not just the mass of the moving assembly dampening thee Tannoy.
Regarding needing bigger boxes for 15s, no you don't. My 15s went straight into the boxes that i was using for my Scanspeaks. What I mean is I had a pair of boxes about the recommended size with the scanspeeaks in them running active under Tannoy 10's. The scan speak was in the top of the box so wheen I wanted to try Dannoy for myself, I cut a hole for the Tannoy drivers straight in the bottom. First the 10 and then the 15. Box is ludicrously small. Again, this is one of the biggest plus, get big Tannoy sound in a tiny boxRerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
