I am using the Hsu electronic crossover/amp for my 2ch system. That is why it is somewhat hard finding an AV preamp, since not everybody reroutes LFE to the main speakers if "no sub" is selected. Some preamps discards the LFE, others(like the acurus ACT-3 w/upgraded bass mgmnt) does not reroute LFE on DTS(a requierment of DTS) still others bypass bass management in its 6ch direct input(if I ever hook up DVD-A to it.Maybe I could hook up the AV preamp to the 2ch preamp, and instead of turning the volume to 12 o'clock, I just run the tape out to the other half of the Y connector and put the preamp to mute(it has a physical mute switch.) This way, the AV preamp does not have to incur a extra gain/buffer stage(the tape monitor on the 2B is unbuffered.)
