Tell Me What I Need...


I`ve been all over the net and have been asking what I need to implement a passive sub (Revel Ultima) into my 2 ch setup.
What I have is very very modest by Audiogon standards but it works for me and sounds pretty ok IMHO.

I use a little Bellari VP129 phono pre that I run straight into a Parasound HCA 1500 amp (has RCA outs in back). My speakers are Revel F52`s.
The sub only has 1 set of speaker connectors (+ -)
So, I need a crossover and an amp and I want to relieve the main speakers of lower bass duty which I think is a nice idea given that they have smallish 6.5" drivers.

I`ve scribbled down a few suggestions as I`m not in any super hurry as I have a Rythmik 12 in use currently.

The factory optioned amp had 700 watts so I may need to be somewhat close or maybe not, as I only listen to music, no movies or video at all.

So what do you guys think ??

Am I missing something ? I see a 'views' count listed but I don`t see my thread !?
Ok..it`s fixed now.Never seen that happen before.

So can anybody steer me in the right direction. I want to start gathering pieces and I want to buy used.
But new isn`t out of the question.
An amp that`s been suggested is a Crown XTi 2000/2002.
One concern that I see with it is the high pass is fixed at 80hz and 6db slope. Would like a little more adjust-ability in that area.
Thanks..yes the sub only has speaker level connections so that has to be accommodated.
So I need to check those that you suggested.
Thanks
