I'm building a 2.1 system from scratch and recently picked up an A23 Demo. I was looking to add a matched P3, when I realized it has no bass management. Does anyone on this forum have experience using this combo with a subwoofer? How did you set it up, and how did you like the results? From what I can tell, the options are:
None of these options seem ideal, as #1 requires long cable runs to and from where the subwoofer will be and #2-4 don't save my monitors from any of the bass load. Is this limitation enough reason to consider a different preamp? Any rumors about Parasound coming out with a 2 channel preamp with bass management a la the New Classic 2100?
Thanks
1. Run cable from P3 to powered subwoofer's crossover, run high pass subwoofer output to A23 and then to speakers.
2. Use Y-splitters out of the p3 to the subwoofer and A23.
3. Use balanced connectors from P3 to A23 and unbalanced from P3 to subwoofer.
4. Use line out loop from A23 to subwoofer.
