The Audiolab is a really nice piece and an amazing performer in its price range in the day. A favorite.Loved it on KEF 104.2.
I don't think it is enough to get the higher volume even when coupled with a subwoofer. You probably could do more output by raising the XO to 80hz. That might cover your needs more fully, as both speaker distortion and power demand are still high in the 40-80 hz range. IIRC there is a published THD measurement of the 1.7 playing 40hz at 95db with 30 odd % THD, which goes down to single digits at 80hz 95 db.
