Despite it's cheap price, it is not cheaply made. It used high quality ALPS pots and switches throughout, 1% tolerance metal film resistors, an oversize toroidal transformer/PS, and offers very high performance.

It's a professional piece of gear. You will need someXLR to RCA adapters, but these are easy to make, or you can just buy premade ones.

Thanks Chris. I may need to get back with you once I get the sub. Maybe you can enlighten me on how to set this up. Basically, I'm using this to crossover to the sub since I'm using vintage gear and they didn't have it built in like that back then. I haven't really played with the older gear much so I'm just not as familiar with it. Thanks again.

I'm not sure that is right. Remember we're talking about vintage gear that is nothing like AVRs of today.

Thinking about my old Yamaha intragrated amp it has main in and preout and a switch to change from one to the other. If I remember right, the main in was for connecting the input of a power amp. The preout was for connecting the output of a pre-amp. This means the amp can be used one of three ways: as an int amp, a pre-amp, or a power amp. I think that's the same for the Marantz.

As I've never tried it, I don't know if you can input to the low level input on a sub and get a signal at the speaker level out. I think it has to be speaker level in/speaker level out, or line level in/line level out.

Hi DD66000,

There are so many various ways to hook up a subwoofer to a receiver, that it all depends of each subwoofer's manufacturer. It's all about the features, and one, from your receiver or integrated amp or preamp, and two, the subwoofer itself.
But I agree with you, that the Low Level connections should normally be In & Out in tandem. And that the High Level connections works also as In & Out, also in tandem.
But like I said, some subwoofer's manufacturers might differ, depending of their designs and features.

Cheers,

Bob
