The quality of the high pass filter to your main speakers is of primary importance. I do mine with a super high quality resistor/capacitor network (latest nude Vishay and Mundorf Silver/Gold). The high pass filters built into most subs suck big time.
Adding a sub - what will I loose?
It seems that adding another piece of equipment to the audio chain would degrade the sound quality to the main speakers (air, immediacy, the mid range, etc). Or am I way off here??
Currently have a preamp with no sub-out and low output tube amp. Plan to use line level to the sub and then out to the amp. That way speakers would not play full range (above 80hz).
