Do high level sub inputs really sound better?


You guessed it, I'm seriously consider laying out "mo money" for long speaker cables to run my sub via the high level inputs.

I'm currently using the low level RCAs, which seem to sound excellent, but I'm hoping things will get even better using the high level inputs.

Any suggestions and/or experience on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

High level means your amps are putting out the signal for under 20hz....IMHO and IME all amps sound better when not driven to the lowest. I would recommend using low level inputs and dumping the lowest freq. off from your full range amps.
Some subs have a line level XOver...I had very good results with Passive Line Level Xover, say from 50hz up!
You will win a lot of detail and dynamics on the mids and higher freq.
IMHO that is the most important feature of a subwoofer, leaving the lowest Freq. to a speialized sytem (the sub) in order to allow your full range system to breath better on top!
