Questions never stop ever, it seems.


Hello All,  is there any point, any discernable advantage, to go to the hassle of including your subwoofer in the signal path of a bi-wired speaker system? Assuming you have enough connections to pull it off or it's even possible.

As opposed to the more normal thought of using the hi pass filter in the subwoofer by running the signal out from the preamp to the subwoofer then running the subwoofer out to the amplifier.

I don't really see a clear way to do both, bi-wire and use that hi pass filter and maybe even potentially blowing everything into orbit if you connect things wrong. Any opinions or ideas? Thanks.

Bi-wire has nothing to do with the subwoofer. You are bi-wiring from the amp to the main speakers. The line level goes out of the the preamp into the line in on sub then the from the line out of the sub to the input of the amp. Most subs have a fixed 80hz high pass filter. Bi-amping is when you use two power amps for the lower and upper half of your main speakers. You have it correctly setup the way you have it now!!
