Don't go through the 550. You will lose some resolution. I would set the volume on the sub for the MD208. Period. The 550 should have adjustable sub levels. Use the 550's controls to set its output to the sub.
HT and 2 channel sub switch
I currently have my HGS12 sub hooked up to a switch between my Magnum Dynalab MD208 pre outs (for 2 channel) and my Marantz AV550 (for HT). This set up sounds pretty good but I can tell that my sub level is definately lower when hooked up to the MD208.
My question is, would I gain some sub volume if I hook up my MD208 pre outs to the "CD in" on the AV550 and ditch the switch. (I would just then need to have the AV550 powered up and set to "CD" when listening to 2 channel stereo.)
Would this set up degrade the sub signal?
Thanks for any info,
