XSP-1

Here's a link to how I do a sub with reference stereo to avoid the XMC-1 doing ADC/DAC.--->CLICK HERE<---

I even do it with choice of FR/FL amp, and that's a bit nuts...but sometimes I like my Hypex and sometimes I like my PrimaLuna Tube amp.

With my Maggies, they roll off a lot below 40 hz, so running them full range and feathering the sub in works quite well...as well as using the XSP-1 for limit the low end and high end. I can imagine that with other speakers, that might not be true.

Also note, with my XMC-1, I just use the RCA for the sub in 2.1 mode off the FR/FL. With the XMC-2 not having RCA's, I'd have to split the FR/FL XLR...not hard to do at all.

That's Mark I recall the post, my sub is a 17" driver in 140 litre DIY cabinet with an XPA-100 as the power amp, hence no low pass control. For that I use the XMC-1 for HT 5.1 and the XSP-1 for stereo 2.1 music. I also run the FL and FR full range, with a bit of measuring and mostly listening I have integrated the sub below them.


Cheers

That makes sense...if you didn't use the XSP-1 for low pass control, you'd have to use something. Luckily, my sub has ability to do that while also taking signal from the LFE that's been controlled by the XMC-1.
