Subwoofer Basics Help

I am thinking about adding a subwoofer to my system but don't fully understand how I would connect it to my Rega Osiris amp which doesn't have a second signal output other than record out. Will a sub work through the record out path? If not that only leaves me the option of using the speaker out terminals. Is there an issue running the sub off the same output as my speakers Naim NBLs? Will my NBLs be compromised? If I have to run the setup this way am I looking for a passive sub? What is the price point that gets you into a decent sub?

I am driving my REL with the second pair of speaker jacks on my Cyrus integrated amp.   I used this sub in another system via RCA with OK results but honestly after hooking it up via speakon connector I think it sounds better.   I couldn't use it speaker level in the system it was in , but I really think these subs integrate well with speaker level input.   My second system has never sounded better.  

I think the only amps you can not do this with are true balanced differential output amps
