The Cantons are excellent speakers. They are not brutal to drive and will do a nice job in a small space but agree, a subwoofer would be essential. A subwoofer with an active crossover is always better than one without. I am not sure if 100hz is the right spot to roll them off but have had speakers that roll off at that point and they do well.
Tonally, slightly forward and best with warmer amplification. I just checked stock with the distributor and the Black version is in-stock and ready to ship according to the website.
I would put these up against the B&W 805 D3s and despite the price differential, I am not sure who would win. It would come down to personal preference. They are very good for the money.
