You can't use a record out unless it is after the volume control.
If you are using a powered sub, the input impedance is often 100x higher than your speakers and won't be a compromise at all. With a passive sub it will.
Subwoofer Basics Help
I am thinking about adding a subwoofer to my system but don't fully understand how I would connect it to my Rega Osiris amp which doesn't have a second signal output other than record out. Will a sub work through the record out path? If not that only leaves me the option of using the speaker out terminals. Is there an issue running the sub off the same output as my speakers Naim NBLs? Will my NBLs be compromised? If I have to run the setup this way am I looking for a passive sub? What is the price point that gets you into a decent sub?

@musichead Have a look at the line up from REL. These powered powered subs simply connect to your speaker lugs on your amp or on the speaker terminals. They do not compromise your system in any way. The signal is amplified by the subs. The only thing to watch for is the hook up on the amp. Wiring is different depending on amp set up. Stereo or mono block. Balanced or not. The manual shows every scenario. https://rel.net/product-category/powered-subwoofers/

+1 for Rel. They are able to integrate easier than most other subs with their high level connection explained by bigtwin. As for cost, that's gonna depend on a few things, mostly room size. The Rel's disappear when set up properly until the music calls for them, they add but they don't take anything away. |
