I have two separate systems in my listening / viewing area. One is a full 7.1 setup with a SVS SB12-NSD subwoofer. The other is a two-channel setup with a Luxman R-115 receiver and ADS L780/2 speakers. I'd like to use the subwoofer to supplement the ADS speakers. On a 'normal' subwoofer, this would be easy, as I could use the speaker in / out terminals and built-in crossover, but no such luck with this model subwoofer. The R-115 has pre-out jacks, but it doesn't have the corresponding main-ins. I can think of a few options to connect this up:
Am I missing any obvious alternatives? I'm not sure what to use to accomplish options 2 or 3 above. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!
1) use the pre-outs from the R-115 and add a switch box to select HT or Stereo between sources and sub. This does nothing to keep low bass out of the ADS speakers.
2) Do the above and add some sort of bass blockers in line with the ADS speakers.
3) Use some sort of crossover like the ones built in to most powered subwoofers. Ideally, it'd have speakers in, speakers out, and line-level outputs for the subwoofer amp. So far, I haven't found anything like this.
4) Try to add main-in jacks to the R-115, which is likely impractical.
