Subwoofer integration using AV bypass
Posted by: Luca71 on 19 December 2011
Hi,
I'm looking into the options of upgrading my system from a 5.1 system to a split system for stereo and multichannel, using the same speakers.
I've auditioned a several Naim amplifiers with my own speakers and that seemed to work very well together. I could connect the fronts of the AVR to the AV bypass input on the stereo amp but I'm not sure if I can integrate the sub in a similar way so it works on both.
I would guess that if I define the (front) speakers as "large", and the sub as "none", the LFE signal would be added to the speakers set to "large". Since the signal for the fronts would be forwarded to the stereo amp, the distribution of the LFE signal would then be done by the stereo amp as well ( high level or low level).
Does anyone have any experience with this type of setup and if it would work this way?
Any feedback will be appreciated!
