Speaker Level and LFE Sub?

I need a sub that can combine the high level signal from the output of my 2 channel amp with the LFE of my surround preamplifier. I have a REL B3 right now which can accomplish this task. However, I am not totally happy with REL. I have an NAD M2 amp and the REL doesn't do great with the high level connection. I tried using the REL cable made for digital amps with no significantly different results. The NAD M2 doesn't have a line out for sub. :(

The G928, REL and Thiel's SS1, SS2 etc with the smartsub integrator are the only 3 sub manufacturers I can find that can run speaker level and lfe contemporaneously. Any other subs that can do this? Any external sub eq or dsp that can run both inputs at the same time?

Definitive Technology Supercubes, the whole line. Pull up their website and check out the manuals. A Supercube II should replace your Rel.

I have a Rel B1, that I am very happy with, but I am going to replace it with 2 SuperCube 1's. Really just to try something new.

Good luck.

Yo Big D, or as we in Houston like to call Dallas, that little city in South Oklahoma, I am going to do the exact same thing that you are, that's how I discovered the Def Tech's could handle that.

I suggest you do as I did, and call the very nice folks at Def Tech and ask them about it. They were great to work with and described in detail how this would work, and said it would be no problem at all.

Good luck.

Big D, tell me how you like it. I am going to go with 2 Supercube I's. That Supercube Reference is going to be a beast compared to the B3.
