Can I use XLR to connect pre-amp to amp and RCA to connect pre-amp to sub?
What preamp? Where you connect the external high-pass filter to? Is your preamp has a tape loop?

Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs
If AT’s compliance is 10cu @ 100Hz you have to convert it first to 10Hz and it will be about 17cu @ 10Hz (Mid Compliance). I just estimate and simply doubled it to 20 @ 10Hz for calculation. Resonance frequency within 7-12Hz is optimal for t...

Infinity Kappa 9, manual request.
Or, better yet, use a crossover designed 25 years later with better tools. That's true, however, I afraid not many kappa 9 owner want to abandon the original crossover altogether especially the adjustability. 
Infinity Kappa 9, manual request.
They were notorious amp destroyers due to 1 ohm impedance that was not needed. http://www.infinity-classics.de/technik/manuals/Kappa_9_technical_sheet.pdf The low frequency crossover is the offender (L12 15mH), use a good subwoofer amp drive t...

Looking for a good speaker for my metal shop.

Voltage question
Just to give you all some idea how absurd it is to think a few volts matters, I once ran a lithotripsy machine designed for 240 on 120. For you mathlexic types that's like half the voltage. That's a complex and highly computerized machine that...

Adding a preamp to HT setup
Could you mean the switch on the amps input? Yes, do not let HT passthrough limiting your preamp choice, a simple line level A/B selector on the power amp input can get the job done. HT AVR pre-out                                         -------&g... 
Need suggestions for bookshelf speakers to pair with an Arcam A70

Recommend a power amp to pair with Yamaha A-S1100
At this point - after spending serious $ on speakers and the integrated amp - I’m hoping for a decent yet significantly more budget friendly power amp. New or used. I’m talking $500-$2000 (hard stop). The power amp can be upgraded in a couple... 
Recommend a power amp to pair with Yamaha A-S1100
The power amp would need to be "gain matched" to the gain of the S1100, unless you would be using an active adjustable crossover. That’s true, or you can use the Yamaha as a pre-amp only and look for an power-amp powerful enough to drive your spea...
