Is a Sub required for HT


I'm a 2-channel guy that decided to add a separate HT system. I currently have a center channel speaker and AV receiver running through my 2-channel preamp's HT bypass. I just purchased rear channel speakers. I hate subs for 2-channel, but are they required for HT?

Looking at the manual for your Marantz receiver, the default setting for Subwoofer is "yes". If this has not been changed, you are losing the LFE channel. Make sure it is set to "no", then it should send the LFE signal to the main speakers. This can make a difference in overall performance. Take a look at page 196 in your manual.
