I'm using a REL to but with line level from my HT-preamp works great in
that application too, in the case of digital HT-preamp it's best to use
the filter integrated there.
I use a stadium 3 xover at 50Hz mains are good for 30Hz but a bit off
overlap in xo region is good.
And I wanted to keep
I don't know if I'm any help, but I am using a pair of ML subs with my
AE5's and it works a treat.
The MLs (Martin-Logan) have a variety of interconnection options, but I
use the ML active crossover (70hz) to feed my AE's the line level
high-pass signal, and then have my ML subs set at 40hz.
and then adjust the roll-off so that the sub is active no higher than 120Hz
at the absolute maximum. My REL Strata 5 is set to start rolling off at 28Hz
with LS3/5As - not noted for their massive bass response - and at only 22 with
my Quad 989s. The REL pre-set roll off is steep, and with

I spent the day at the Bristol Hi-Fi show on Sunday and listened to a
REL subwoofer demo and was blown away. I've never wanted a sub for the
Hi-Fi before as I always thought the bass would be too exaggerate, but
this demo was superb. The soundstage grew as soon as the sub was
switched on.

Actually, just checked a few subs out and some have seperate speaker
inputs and outputs so I presume this is all thats needed.

That is correct. From my experience also, line-level from the preamp to
the crossover/sub/speakers is better but there are so few places selling
Since you mention REL, they actually recommend the use of speaker level
connections with a very low xover point. The argument is that timing
cues and the character of your amp will be picked up by the sub. Not
sure how that helps you though, as I assume the active speakers have
digital inputs
