Can I add a PV1 B&W Sub to my Cyrus 6a Amp?

[Memphismusic]

Hi,

Does anyone one know if and how I can add the B&W sub to my amp?

I am using B&W 684 fronts and the logic being the sub would add more beat and thud with film and music.

thanks in advance

Don't really know either of your products but would suggest using the preouts from the amp to the line level inputs on the sub, this is what I use from my MF A3.5 into a Qaud sub to help out the 11Ls works a treat

You might want to try a different sub to the PV1. It is lacking in welly IMO. The BK ones are much better and cheaper.

The PV1 is good but best suited to satellite speakers imo.

i would be looking at something from REL (R328, similar size but less cash) and use the high level speaker inputs as suggested by REL.

Yes you can hook 'm up if you have the 'special' cable. See in the manual page 5, Fig 5.

normally this type of cable comes standard with the sub in the packaging.

Yeah, it comes with a dedicated cable to connect to your speaker outputs.

Don't be put off with talk of lack of depth, for music you want agility over outright bass. Run mine with my Hi-Fi and it sounds great.

I agree that speed and accuracy for 2 channel are more important than outright welly.
