passive preamp sub output?

I own an Acurus integrated (DIA 100, MKII). It has "passive" circuitry, and no preamp output. In an ongoing effort to consolidate my HT system and dedicated stereo system (see my other thread!) I want to use it with a sub. However, it doesn't have a preamp output. I tried using the "tape out" output, to no avail. Any ideas/solutions/hope? Much appreciated, Ben

Get the Paradigm x-30 active crossover. Usually one available here.
Good luck!

Hmmm -- what's the point of the active x-over since Balthus does NOT have a pre-amp OUTPUT (i.e. you can't drive the active x-over with the power amp's output..)

Balthus: if I understand correctly, you want to drive 2.1 channels from the Acurus?? I.e. say, a cd (two channel stereo) with a subwoof? If so, doesn't yr subwoof have a "low pass" control? If so, you don't need another active x-over.
You DO need a pre out, though.

Or am I totally confused..
