Doesn't that setup get a little tricky for controling volume for multi-channel sources ?
It sounds like the PRe3 has a home theater bypass, which makes volume control straightforward: the PRe3 basically becomes a straight wire for the 805's pre-amp outputs.
The PRe3 does not have any bass mangement capabilities. I wish it did as I could just use a Y adapter to the sub cable from the 805. Thanks for your help!
Let me toss out a crazy idea, then. Set the front speakers to large and disable the subwoofer output on the 805, then route the left and right channel pre-amp outputs from the 805 to the PRe3 (as you already are) and the left and right channel pre-amp outputs from the PRe3 through the SMS-1 on their way to the power amps.
Then connect the subwoofer to the SMS-1. You are basically going to use the SMS-1's built-in 80Hz analog high-pass crossovers for the left and right channels, so you'd want to set the digital low-pass crossover in the SMS-1 to 80Hz to match up with it. The 805 would mix the LFE channel into the left and right channels, where it would end up getting split back out by the SMS-1. Whaddaya think?
