I am hoping one of the knowledable pppl on this board can comment on this.

My goal is to add a sub to my rear speakers (Axiom QS-8s).

What I can do, using my Marantz SR4400 AV receiver is:

1) set rear speakers to large in receiver
2) cable from rear L/R pre-out to the sub. Use the sub's builtin variable low pass to mesh with the Axiom sateliites.

What I can NOT do is filter the signal going to the satellites (i.e use a high pass filter).

The only solution I can find is to use an inline, speaker level, high pass filter, like those used in the car audio biz.

ex: http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?...758810&desc=ASC

My question: would use of one of these filters be acceptable in a mid-range home theatre? would it be equivalent, in terms of signal degradation, to the crossover network in a cheap receiver?

Any comments welecome.
