In Reply to: RE: Want a top notch 2.1 system...how do I proceed posted by Pinkus on October 27, 2007 at 18:09:42
I already have a SUB...it is a REL. The monitors are SF Guarneri Mementos. I also have a Krell HTS 7.1 processor. My idea was to get rid of the HTS 7.1 and replace it with a top notch pre, since I mostly listen to music. For movies, I am only concerned about the .LFE channel.
My question is, how do I manage the .LFE channel with a 2 channel preamp, without having any .LFE directed to the L & R speakers.
Follow Ups:
As Tom says, use the speaker level inputs for the REL. You will be running the Guarneri Mementos full range but they're simply going to roll off at low frequency levels anyway and they're a very well made speaker so their drivers shouldn't have problems with the low frequency side of things unless you really push the volumes.
If you've already got the Krell processor, however, I'd tend to keep it. It will definitely give you more options with the sub and with the Guarneris than a normal pre will do. You may be able to get a bit better 2 channel performance from a normal pre but you will also lose some performance quality with movies. You may lose some low end quality with music also since the Krell may do a better job of integrating the sub with the mains using the REL's low level input than you can do with the REL's high level input if you swap to a normal pre.
My preference, if it were my system and used for both music and movies, would be to keep the flexibility offered by the Krell processor. I can't see that approach losing much in the way of sound quality and it may actually gain some sound quality if you're also using the sub for music.

If you already have such good equipment I really wouldn't worry. Using the sub between the amp and the speakers is a fine 2 channel amp solution, but really why bother unless (1) you don't like the Krell or (2) someone offers you silly money for it...
And quit worrying about the LFE problem that doesn't exist.

Put one after the preamp: the very low stuff goes to the sub (which is probably powered by its own amp) and the rest goes to the amp for your other speakers.
