Looking for assistance with JL Audio sub and KCT

I have a JL Phantom f112 and I'm looking for the best way to connect it to a Krell KCT Preamp. The power amp is a Krell Evolution 302. My speakers are B & W 805S. I currently have the JL connected to a Manley Jumbo Shrimp the Manley has two single end Main Outs so I have one out going to the sub the other going to the speakers and everything works. I would like to switch over to the KCT for a while for a little listening comparison but the KCT has only one single ended L & R out and one XLR balanced L & R out. Will I damage the sub or the preamp if I connect the sub to the XLR outs and the speakers to the single end outs at the same time?

Hi Richie,

i am no engineer, but i doubt you would damage your speakers or your pre doing this. If you email Krell, they have been pretty responsive when i have emailed them questions before. Good luck and pls keep us posted.

Hi Lloydelee,
Good hearing your thoughts. I've never posted before so this is a 1st. After posting here at Audiogon under amps preamp I also found the post for speakers I posted there also. I received a response with some advice to consider using Mogami Gold Studio xlr cables so I picked a 6 foot pair up today and everything work great. I also decided to purchase a pair of 2 meter Krell Cast MMF Cables that I'm looking forward to receiving and see how they compair to my current set up. I'll get back with how it goes. Thanks!
