Sub Woofer hook up with McIntosh MC 501

I already run xlr's to the input on the amp for the pre-amp you can only run one input line, the mac is switchable between xlr and rca this allows you to run only one input at a time.

Are you suggesting running a sub off the speakers will do damage? I don't understand where you are going with this.

Has anyone setup their sub to run from your speakers?

I spoke with Albert Von Schweikert concerning this issue, since his VRS/1 subwoofer is the one I will connect to. He states the sub amp was designed to take a load from an amp as long as the connection is made to the high input on the back of the sub. He also states that his Von Schweikert circuits are designed to be compatible with one another, therefore they may be connected in either configuration.

Just quoting what the designer himself told me

Upon your advice, I have placed a call to Chuck Hinton at McIntosh. Thanks

Spoke to Chuck Hinton at McIntosh, his feelings were it would probably be best not to run the sub and the mac together, although it may be possible depending on how they react to one another, it's not advisable. He did state that REL sub are setup to connect directly to an amp
