Sub connection to CARY SLP-05 preamp

Don't know why my post turned up twice. Strange.

You may well be right Al, I was just guessing. The speaker level may go thru the same processing, but intutively, I reached the opposite conclusion....I thought it unlikely that the speaker level signal would see anything but the high pass.

Maybe someone should put the question to Velodyne.

Edorr,

I tried a Marchand (used) from a local dealer, but the example I got was too noisy to keep. While looking around for a replacement, I tried the NHT on a money back trial basis and ended up keeping it.

I would second what Almarg thinks in terms of how the velodyne works on both input. It comes in more handy for me to go for connecting the subs from Poweramp since I dont have the XLR splitter while RCA route also uncertain if a good to go. If there is no risk on trying, I will test Almarg way soon. Please confirm. I will also find out if DD-15 (actually its 15") EQ works on speaker input, which I suppose it would to make sense - I mean how would velodyne think people would like to use their sub as a full range speaker on earth....

Marty, the irrational suspicion of cheap components which a share with many an audiophile, no doubt greatly contributes to the survival of the high end audio industry. Nonetheless I have been very happy with my NHT x2. The reason I bought mine is it was the only Xover I could find that allowed me to integrate discrete left and right channels with the LFE channel for multi channel applications, which is precisely what I am doing. Marchand could custom build me one, but based on your experience I am glad I stayed away from it.

My SLP-05 can output from RCA and XLR simultaneously. Simply run XLR to amp and RCA to sub. Problem solved.
