Speaker Level and LFE Sub?


I need a sub that can combine the high level signal from the output of my 2 channel amp with the LFE of my surround preamplifier. I have a REL B3 right now which can accomplish this task. However, I am not totally happy with REL. I have an NAD M2 amp and the REL doesn't do great with the high level connection. I tried using the REL cable made for digital amps with no significantly different results. The NAD M2 doesn't have a line out for sub. :(

The G928, REL and Thiel's SS1, SS2 etc with the smartsub integrator are the only 3 sub manufacturers I can find that can run speaker level and lfe contemporaneously. Any other subs that can do this? Any external sub eq or dsp that can run both inputs at the same time?

Definitive Technology Supercubes, the whole line. Pull up their website and check out the manuals. A Supercube II should replace your Rel.

I have a Rel B1, that I am very happy with, but I am going to replace it with 2 SuperCube 1's. Really just to try something new.

Good luck.
Yep, I second the Def Tech recommendation as I am running a Supercube II in exactly the same way as you are describing.Fantastic small footprint sub with built in 1250 watt class D amp that offers excellent nuance for music and plenty of thunder for home theater as long as your room is not too large. If you have a big room there is always the Supercube I or the Supercube Reference. Prices especially used are very reasonable.
I read the manual. I can see that the super cube take speaker level inputs, but nothing in the manual says that the sub can safely take both LFE and high level at the same time. Are you doing this with a supercube? I just wouldn't try it unless the manufacturer has tested it to make sure grounding problems aren't going to destroyed my amp. BTW, most subs that take high level connections cannot do both high level and low level at the same time. REL is one of the few exceptions.
Sorry. Maybe i jumped the gun. I read this on their website:
"Both speaker level and low-level inputs are provided as well as a separate direct-in LFE low-level input (which bypasses the crossover network) which may be used by itself or in combination with left and right channel high- or low-level inputs for the ultimate in subwoofer flexibility and performance."
