jamies, my post references also to
your post in the "favorite mains" thread, since you mention similar things there.
If you find your monitors to be too bass shy, the first thing that comes to mind is to buy a subwoofer if that is possible financially.
Apart from that, you should find some reference CDs (take In da Club for example) to evaluate how your Tannoys reproduce bass.
Make sure that your mix does not have a bigger low end on your Tannoys than the reference mix has.
Of course there is still some guessing involved with this method since you obviously can't hear what your monitors can't reproduce
BUT at least this should help you prevent overdoing the bass in your mixes so they won't distort when played back on other systems.
Maybe you do have a pair of headphones that go deeper than your Tannoys? You can also use these to help you approximate your bass level.
