Consider a sub crossover. Discontinued NHT X2's and Paradigm X-30's are getting hard to find. Bryston 10B Sub's are expensive. There's a European company called Reckhorn that makes something rather unusual, if it's available for US voltage.
Splitting a pre-amp channel for sub - good or bad?
I was wondering what the general consensus is for splitting one of the output channels on my pre-amp so I can listen in stereo with the subwoofer.
I'm hesitant for the obvious reasons like noise or signal degradation induced by the splitter (even a good splitter). Sometimes a little more bass is nice, but will the overall quality suffer??
I'll list the important components, but if you need more info just let me know
Pre-amp: AES AE-3
Amp: B&K reference 125.2
Fronts: Klipsch RP-5
Sub: Klipsch RSW-12
