Connecting a sub which way to go

I have a NAD165 Pre-amp and a Nad 365 amp I am connecting a SVS SB13 Ultra into the system. The 165 has a sub output,but is it better to use that or the signal between the pre amp and the amp stripping off the bottom end signals say 15HZ to 80 sending rest on to the amp?  The SVS has both a high pass and a low pass filter. The rest of my system is Paradigm S3 V2's and Triad Silver Monitor's

In my experience, high passed small speakers/monitors with subwoofer setup is preferable, the speakers can play louder and cleaner, the power amps also don't have to work as hard as full range.
since you have everything on hand, why not try both way and let your ears make the decision, BTW, what is Paradigm S3 V2?
