Pass Labs XA30.5 + XP-10 with a sub

Looking for any comments regarding this 2.1 system. It's not complete yet but the final piece XP-10 is coming tomorrow.

I plan to use left/right front RCA of XP-10 to connect to a sub that goes down to 20Hz while balanced outs will be connected with XA30.5. Anyone uses sub or subs with XP-10? I'm excited about this but at the same time worried. I know how much a lousy sub integration can be frustrating.

Any comments on what I'll be experiencing? I'm not a very experienced listener but a normal joe who loves his music.

Thanks for the great info, Bryon. I just always rely on PBK to correct the sub frequency response. The software PBK that came with the sub also has a tool to find an optimum spot for the sub. The tool sends out a sub test tone continuously while software on PC is plotting a freq response curve for you. You can then move the sub around to find a spot with good freq response.

Anyway, I guess it's about time I try out the Method 1 you explained very well.

I have a Paradigm Studio Sub12 and PBK software from Paradigm that does the room correction. So I guess it's similar to Velodyne DD. :)
