How to properly hook-up a Martin Logan Grotto sub to Parasound pre P5? With vandy 2sig....

Hello,
I would like to know how others are hooking up their ML Grotto sub to the Parasound Preamp P5. I would appreciate step by step instructions, because My sub is not blending well. Do most use the sub controls on the P5 or the ML sub. Thanks so much, I really appreciate any help. Also what are your settings at? I have a pair of Vandersteen model 2sig.

Matt:

I think the preamp's controls will be the simplest, and leave you with the simplest audio path. Otherwise, you have to run long RCA cables to the grotto AND back.

Overall, Your #1 problem is going to be room integration, not who makes a better high pass filter.

Best,

keep us posted as you massage the ML Grotto into your room, system.

It is a very fine subwoofer, that oddly enough, is a sonic match for B&W speakers.

Happy Listening!

Check your Vandersteen setup while you are at it - the acoustic coupler on the back of the 2 will still be active. how far away from the back wall are they ?
Agree Audiotools  is a great app, well worth owning !!!!
