    825 sub between pre and power amp

    I have a Primare SPA21 and A30.2 (surround/power) amps. Have anyone tried using a sub in the 800-series between a pre and power amp? The b&w dealer here said it wasn't optimal, but not surprising had no clue how much distortion or degration of the signal in general I might expect. A mail to b&w resulted in a forward to the distributor here. Back to start...

    So, has anyone tried this or have some hard facts regarding the 800 subs? Considering the 825 with 803S. Yes, using the LFE channel is best, but I'm also using analog buypass signals, and would like to use the sub for those signals too. Don't have any spare pre-outs for front channel signals.

      Best thing...try it and determine how much degradation in sound there is!

      Or you could also use Y-plugs to distribue the signal from the pre to the power and sub inputs.

          Sub selection
          by Wilfred
          Sub mainly will be used for video application, but would like to have the option of moving it to my music system also. I started my search at HSU subs, due to the many positive reviews. Then, recommendation from a dealer pointed me to Vandersteen (which they also sell).

          HSU is pretty...

          Adding pre-amp to Integrated amp

          Hi members,
          It is most likely this question has been asked, but I cannot find reference to it, so perhaps all it will take is someone redirecting me ...

          Anyway I have Rotel 03 series integrated amp and cd player (with B&W 603s).

          I probably would have gotten...

          Diferent brands for Source to Pre and Power?
          by snowball
          From your experience is using a source of a different brand with pre-power amplifiers of the same brand a bad choice?

          ie:

          ayre cx-7e and classe?

          classe cp 700 and ayre?

          rcd-1072 and ayre?

          ayre cx-7e and rotel?

          by oldironsights
          Hello everyone im new to this site and am seriously looking to get some rotel gear, and decided this was the place to ask some questions. I went to my local dealer (only one in vegas) and he wants top dollar of course for a ra-1062 60wpc integrated. I have found a used rc-1070 for a very decent price....
