    Claase Sigma SSP and Rel S3 connection issue

    Anyone out there have experience connecting the Sigma SSP with Rel S3 subwoofer in 5.1 setup? I connect using both the Sigma SSP "sub out" RCA to Rel S3 .1 LFE input and also using the Rel high level speaker connection to the front left and right speaker connection at the Amp output. When I configure the front left and right speaker to "full" and subwoofer enable at the Sigma SSP as recommended by Rel, I will lost all mid bass when watching movie. If I disable the sub at the Sigma SSP, and using only the Rel high level speaker connection, the mid bass come back but I am not getting the a good low level effect when there is a 0.1 track. I called Rel, they said this connection is what they recommend. I called Classe, they said I cannot have both .1 LFE and high level speaker connection at the same time. I appreciate if anyone can provide some help here.

    I wouldn't bother with the high level connection, there is no point in it if you have your crossover on the SSP set properly. I suspect the issue is to do with the distance between speaker and sub meaning that where both speaker and sub are playing the same frequencies they are out of phase and cancelling each other out.

      SSP-300 vs Sigma-SSP
      by JoeTheLion
      Hi all!

      I know the title of the thread seems a little absurd, as there are more than 10 years between the two models. But, a used SSP-300 can be bought for under a thousand dollars whereas a Sigma-SSP costs more than four times that.

      This would be an update for me from...

      Sigma SSP review and a query
      by Audio_ElF
      For anyone interested: HiFi News in UK have a review of the Sigma SSP and Amp2 in the August 2015 issue. Reviewed purely as a 2 channel system they felt it was good but not exceptional for the price but a good bridge between 2 channel and multi-channel.

      One query I did have was that...
