Artemus, recently I've been looking at subs. I took a look at the Martin logan page. The new Descent sub. I opened the manual on descent and it showed the descent being hooked up as 2channel, ht and both at the same time. From what I read it looks like the descent will take both connections at the same time, giving you both ht and 2 ch.. The sub has 3-10 in subs and a 400 watt amp. Abit pricey @ $2,400. I never auditioned it, but if you do a search here I think you'll find someone who ownes one. Good luck, pete
Need help understanding signal to subwoofer
I have a CJ 2 channel system in which I incorporate HT with a HT receiver connected through the 2 ch pre via video loop. The HT receiver powers the center and rear channels. The CJ powers the fronts. If I connect a subwoofer to the CJ via low level inputs, how much bass information (if any) will I be losing in the HT mode?
I know the REL and ACI Titan have connections for simultaneous running of LFE from processor and line connections for 2 channel. However I am toying with getting something smaller ie Sunfire or B&W 2500. These can only be connected to 1 source (I think) Therefore the question about information loss to HT. About 75% of my time is spent in music, but I do want the use of the sub with movies without having to change connections. I also do not want to have the HT processor on to listen to 2 channel. If there is a way to connect these subs and get the best of both worlds, please let me know? Here's a link to my system.
