$800-$1500 Integrated amps with a subwoofer output

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

Running a long set of interconnects from a passive preamp can audibly affect the frequency response (due to cable capacitance), so it would be better to get an integrated with an active preamp if you want to use RCA interconnects to drive the sub. Unfortunately, since the demise of phono inputs many integrateds have a passive-pre. Or just get a REL / ACI sub and connect to the speaker terminals.

I have the 1003, and the sub outs were a definite advantage that some of the comparables did not have.
