Sorry, i've been away from my computer for a while....Hey, i just thought you could device an A/B type switch that would allow for your set-up as is when you listen to music and switch when you want to play a dvd....
So, the 1st input would come from the Pre/Proc's LFE channel and the 2nd input would come from the Xover as you have it now.... the ouput from this switch would be going into the sub. The beauty of this is that by by-passing the xover with this switch during DVD playback you would not sacrifice quality because the appropriate range of freqs would be sent to the front channels already! just a matter of getting it made or making such a switch yourself.... if there ain't one out there already
It would be a simple switch box with 2 RCA ins and 1 out!
what do you think?

I don't think this would work, since the current setup, the 2ch preamp goes to the sub, which then sent the higher freq to the main speakers's power amp & to the speakers. If switched to the HT setting, the main fronts would still be hooked to the sub.If it was to work, it would be a A/B switch that simultaniously did a whole bunch of switching like:
In A setting:
LFE pre out to sub amp
Front pre out to Front AmpIn B setting
Pre out to sub amp
Sub high pass to front amp
