After long Reading of recomendation and reviews I have decided to buy the BK xls200 subwoofer
i just want to say first of all that I am a bit of a noob!
I have a few questions and just alittle confused
the amp/reciever I will be getting will be a yamaha 765 And 90% of the time will used purley for movies and the 10% will be used for music cd,mp3, but to be perfectly honest I am NOT bothered how the sub will sound or perform for this
now normally I would connect a sub to an amp by a sub cable that has RCA connectors , now this bk xls200 sub has also have a high level input now I'm getting and Reading mix comments on wether to connect the sub with the high level connector along with the RCA connector
I read some review that it's better to connect it with the high level and the low level as you would get better bass response (i.e) if a film that had bass that should have been in the lfe and wasn't mixed in there then the high level connector would have picked it up so I would be still hearing the bass that should have been there (some thing along these lines!!)
but then I have been reading posts that the high level is really designed for amp that don't have a sub out connection so there's really no point in using the high level if you have got a sub out on your amp
the high level cable that will be supplied will not be long enough for me so can I just extend the cable by using Some wire connector blocks or some thing? Or is best to buy a longer length cable?
As this sub is so versatile it has so many knobs on there how easy is this sub to set up?
In my opinion I am spending alot of money in creating my home cinema and want to get the best sound and get it right the first time round, I want to get as close to how the directors of the movie was meant to be with what I have got.
Thanks for Reading I will be waiting for all your thoughts and opinions pls
