Hypex HS200 amp vs Marchand for use as sub amp...

About to get some Thor speakers but will need a sub. My Jadis intergrated has an OUT, so could i use a Marchand XM9 receiving the OUT and the XM9 powering the sub?. I'm building my own sub with a Excel W26, plan to use the sub from 20-100hz. Or do you recommend the Hypex HS200 sub amp. Never used a sub, not sure about the hookup. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

You know, in the car arena side of audio, subwoofer amplifiers with built in crossovers are a dime a dozen. Why can't they get that design over to the home audio side, too?

I just had a thought. Anybody ever try driving a home subwoofer with a car subwoofer amp?

You can run a car amp at home, but you need a massive DC power supply. Cheaper and easier to just buy a home amp.

One member mentioned to me that when you run your satalites through a sub amps connects, they pick up on a tad of coloration, seems very plausible, any honest comments?
