Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection
Al, which way is better / safer/ better sounding? Splitting the rca output on the pre amp or just running speaker cables to the sub? Also, can we run them straight from the amp or do we need to run them from the speakers?Im in the same boat as I'm... 
Devialet Silver Phantom
The reason I started this thread was because I heard a pair and was pretty dang impressed but didn't spend a whole lot of time with them. I'm wondering how refined they are and how deep you can hear into the mix. First impressions were really good...
