Hey guys, I know flavours of this have been asked before, but let's assume I'm a five year old and need an explanation as such:
I haven't really used subwoofers until now, but I've been thinking I'd like to add one to my setup. If I got the A8 (which ticks all my boxes otherwise) feeding into a power amp that does not output to a subwoofer (like, say, a Topping), what would be my best bet?
I've seen elsewhere that some people suggest A8 > Subwoofer > Power Amp > Speakers - I'd rather not because of the way my cables run. Others say it's possible to plug the amp into either XLR or RCA and subwoofer into the other one - that could work, but since there's no HPF / LPF separation on the A8, would it even be worth it (perhaps some specific subwoofers would work better with that)? Or is there a way to take the signal from the A8 and move it through some sort of box that'd do the filtering before redistributing to power amp and subwoofer? My head is spinning - I'd love some help!
ETA: Speakers are KEF R3 Meta if that helps, and I don't have a specific idea in mind for the subwoofer yet, so happy to hear any suggestions that would make this feasible.
