Since this weekend looks like a wash out I want to experiment with my SVS sub. I only have it hooked up doing HT duty. I want to try it in 2 channel mode. How do I hook it up? My receiver is a NAD T773 using sub-out. My 2 channel system is a CJ tube preamp, AVA amp, Consonance CD120 player, & AAD 2001 monitors. Can I do both together or do I need to keep the hookups separate? I never considered the sub for 2 channel but this is a perfect weekend to see if I like it. Thanks

Without some type of switching mechanism, I think you'll have to keep the connections separate.
The hookup mostly depend on what connections you have available on the sub and the preamp.
I'd connect like this for starters...
CJ pre line outs > SVS sub line ins > SVS sub line outs > AVA amp inputs > AVA amp outputs > AAD speakers.
Then set SVS sub X-over to "enable" and adjust the x-over/phase/level controls to blend with the AADs as you see fit. This is all assuming the SVS has the built-in amp with the aforementioned connections.
The SVS sub X-over will high pass to the AVA amp so that the x-over control will set the transition between the AADs and the SVS sub. It actually results in a "true" bi-amped system where the AVA amp does not have to reproduce the voltage waveform containing bass information below the x-over point (slope notwithstanding).There are some things which are impossible to know, but it is impossible to know which things these are. :scratchhead:

So I just purchased my SVS sub to accompany my Nautilus 805s, the PB12-ISD. This thing is huge. Well, I've been playing around with the placement and settings, but somehow seem a little disappointed. My room size is 18x30, but I have my actual sitting position set up more like 18x20. I have used... -
I am getting a SVS sub soon, but just can't decide which one to go for, please advice.
I have MMG as main and MMGw as surround, found out a HSU stf2 is not enough to fill my living hall which is around 20x18x10.
I listen to 50% movies & 50% music.

I would like to add a sub-woofer to my system. I have a pair of 802N speakers driven by a Bryston 14B ST. My preamp is a Supratek Sauvignon. This is a music only system.
I read Kal's advice in another post as follows:

I currently have 803s up front and 804s for the rear, with a HTM1 center. My sub is crruntly a SVS 20-35PCI.
I have been working on my room setup. I now think my sub may be my "weak piece" that needs to be improved next. I am hoping this knowledagble grou pcan give some opinions.... -
I just recieved my new SVS 25-31PCI sub this afternoon and fired it up. Pretty slick. It replaced a Klipsch SW-10 II. I had been nosing around the various threads on wich sub and why for a little while and figured for the $580 to the door I would see what all the fuss is about. ACCURATE, ACCURATE, ACCURATE,...
