RE: Subs are sub optimal with magenpans!

Posted by jrdoe on December 24, 2016 at 19:48:26:
I have 2 Rel Strata Subs. Their recommended setup is to take the signal directly from the speaker posts of the amp, rather than from a low pass crossover in the pre. I also have a an LDR preamp. Supposedly, this is better... Debatable, I know...

I'm going to try this for myself, but I'm curious on your thoughts of using a Parasound P5 with the high and low bypass options vs my current setup with full signal frequencies going to both subs and Maggie 1.7's.

Better off giving the Maggies a break on the low end despite the supposed differences with a better pre?

Also, I'd be switching from balanced to unbalanced cabling if I used the Parasound in this setup.
