| powered sub to an Adcom speaker selector box @ cunawabi You can use the subwoofer you have. You will need a pair of y adapters on the preamp.

| Receiver recently repaired - Now producing fuzzy distortion in higher frequencies?? If you have headphones you should try them and see if you have any distortion. If you don’t, MC is correct on the tweeters being blown or the x over might be damaged! | |
