RE: I think I'm subwoofing now

My ProAcs are rated to 27 HZ (I think that rating was +/- 6 db) so probably close to the same low frequency extension as the Tannoys. I use the 50 Hz FMOD. Seems right in my system with the ProAcs. You do want some overlap to make the integration as seemless as possible. 50 is likely a good point for your Tannoy's and may also work with the Thiels. 30 is likely too low and 70 seems way too high.

The LRS really need the higher cutoff point. They do not like deep bass.

Like the music or not I found that Diana Krall, Turn Up the Quiet's track, Like Someone in Love is a good track to dial in the integration right by ear with the sub's controls. The acoustic bass lines are very revealing of bad/good integration. The presence of the sub should be invisible in the music, just your system sound w/o a bottom limit.
