Glad to hear that you got your preamp working. Most powered subs I've used have a built-in crossover you can feed from a preamp output. If both outputs are already in use split either one with a pair of RCA y-adapters. You'll need a line level switch box with at least 2 pairs of inputs and 1 pair of outputs like the Niles AXP1.

The classical music station here in the city I live in........grin

It may have been used before but the sonic holography effect and the guitar riff from "The Ballad of Bill Hubbard" by Roger Waters on the 'Amused to Death' album is spectacular. It is one of the songs I use to test my ribbons for buzz and I was led to it by several members on this site (UM, PMAT, etc.). The dog barks can be heard coming from behind you with SH! (along with the cougar growl) Just a consideration.

Many responses, some a little confusing. For an additional $100, it might be easier to just purchase another subwoofer to use with the Carver preamp. The cost alone of the switching device is almost the cost of another subwoofer.

Hey Carsten, soooo glad you found us (from Denmark no less!)...and a warm welcome to the CarverSite. You have stumbled upon an amazing site as well as one of the best speakers ever produced, and with a little knowledge from the folks here, you will be able to enjoy them to their fullest. I too own a pair of AL's (silver model) and that was the foundation with which I built my system around. They have been singin' sweetly since 1990. I did have a ribbon begin to buzz but we have a member here (SEA) who can help with that. ( AL ribbon repair ) Thank you for posting a pic so fast too! I look at that picture like an artist looks at a blank canvas. You have so many options to begin building a system around those fantastic works of art. You are very fortunate. What horsepower will you be using and have you discovered sonic holography? Btw, we love ALL things audio (& vid) here with a passion of course for Carver related. Ask away-- and again, welcome aboard the carver express!

A different take on a 1939 song.

This is my favorite version of this song I've found so far, enjoy........
