How to connect C2500, MC501 and Two Subs

Getting great feedback, but with all the recommendations, which setup will get the best out of the subs and ultimately the system in general? Connecting subs using the same 8 ohm taps as my current speaker connection seems to be the easiest setup if it gets the best out of the subwoofers. Granted I haven't 100% decided which subs, but leaning towards the SVS PB/SB-2000's..

"They" say the best integration of subs with your main speakers are obtained by using high level inputs. The signal to your sub is the same as to your speakers, having gone through the same signal path.

Maybe somebody else can support or refute this. I do know that manufacturers would not incur the added cost of high level inputs on the higher end subs without a justification.

I would guess XLRs would be the next best path, RCA last. 

In this hobby there will always be those that vehemently advocate or refute damn near anything without evidence, so make your own judgements and don't look back.

I use the high level inputs on my RELs, and am very satisfied with the results. Would I be just as satisfied with using XLRs? probably.
 

If your subs are the active type, read powered by it own internal amp, which the SVS PB/SB-2000’s seem to be, I would run your subs directly from additional outs of the preamp...

Why taint that tubed goodness in the signal chain with an additional SS amp? The SVS subs have a class D internal amp...

ddude003,

do you mean even though I'm using the mains balance out to both amps, it doesn't cancel out the mains RCA outputs #1 and #2? This would mean I could use both outputs for the SB2000's? 

Great feeds! Since I use the C2500 main balance out to the MC501's, I'll try the main's output #1 & 2 using XLR to RCA splitters.

- Output #1 and 2 right channel going to right sub

- Output #1& 2 left channel going to left sub. I'm days out from cable delivery but can someone tell me if this is the right way?
