Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Recommendation below is only one possible option, and not necessarily optimal...

Following that recommendation, lower part of frequency spectrum will be reproduced by sub, and upper part (above sub's crossover point) by your main speakers. Problem is, the overall quality of the sound will degrade because of additional components in the chain. I wouldn't use that at all if your system performs 2-channel duty, i.e. not dedicated HT.

Better option is probably to run main speakers full-range, and augment low end with sub. With your NAD, you'll need pair of RCA Y-adapters (1 male to 1 male-1 female, or 1 male to 2 female plus additional male-male connector or short cable) to connect as follows:

- single male end into pre-out
- split male end (or female + add. connector) into amp-in
- split female end + cable into sub's line in.
