Would like to add a sub to a two channel system


I'm hoping someone can give me advice on what would be a cost-effective way to add a subwoofer to my stereo setup which currently employs two bookshelf speakers. I'm running a B&K ST140 for power, an Adcom GFP preamp, a Music Hall MMf-5 TT, and Paradigm Atoms for speakers. I have a small sub I'd like to add. It is amplified but can also be powered by the main stereo amp. I would like to get advice on cable options or (less desirable) to buy some kind of crossover or ???
I humbly await for assistance.

Thank you Arni, Marykl and Dan_ed! I downloaded a users manual for the Adcom preamp and learned that indeed both sets of pre-outs can be used simultaneously. So I will connect the "extra" set to the "low-level" inputs in the sub,and set its crossover to 50-60Hz and see how this works. I will also look up the SMS sub controller to learn about it. I'll report back as I try my options. Again, thank you all for your help!
