passive preamp sub output?

I own an Acurus integrated (DIA 100, MKII). It has "passive" circuitry, and no preamp output. In an ongoing effort to consolidate my HT system and dedicated stereo system (see my other thread!) I want to use it with a sub. However, it doesn't have a preamp output. I tried using the "tape out" output, to no avail. Any ideas/solutions/hope? Much appreciated, Ben

I researched this same subject and went with the view that high level is actually better and the impedance of the sub's plate amp is high enough not to present difficulties to the main amp.
Therefore, simply connect a second run of wire from the amp to the sub high level.
Works for me.
