Analog preamp with subwoofer integration + HT bypass


I'm currently trying to combine my vinyl and HT setups and am looking for a preamp that has the following features:

 - Analog inputs with crossover for subwoofer (no A/D + D/A conversion)  
 - HT bypass for speakers and subwoofer (true bypass, not unity gain)
 - Analog, non-potentiometer volume control

So far I've found two options, the Parasound Halo P6 and the Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2. The Emotiva in particular seems like fantastic value used. That said, I'm not a huge fan of its looks. I've also seen middling reviews of sound quality for both options.

I was looking at the Anthem STR as an option but it has to digitize the analog signal to enable subwoofer management.

Any other preamps that I'm missing? Or is there a better option to integrate a subwoofer for both HT and audio use?

Rest of my audio system for reference:
KEF Reference 1 speakers
PSA S1510DF subwoofer
ATI AT523NC amplifier
Rega Planar 10 turntable
PS Audio Stellar Phono pre-amp

Thanks @millercarbon - I already have an amplifier I like for HT/music (3 channel for LCR) so haven't really looked into the integrated options. I suppose running the center channel off my receiver wouldn't be a disaster.

Which integrated are you using?
