Default Re: Switching subwoofer from "discrete mode" to "stereo mode"?

Thanks guys.

I'm running 8040A Genelecs with a 7070A sub, all going through the sub. And actually, upon closer inspection, I do have output from the sub in stereo operation. It's just significantly lower.

Which of course leads me to question if this is normal. If I play content that is to be reproduced only via the subwoofer (i.e. a sound containing no information over 85Hz), it will sound substantially louder if I output it directly to the subwoofer compared to just playing it "in stereo" and letting the bass management redirect the signal. In my world, they ought to sound equally loud, but this is clearly not the case. So, am I still doing something wrong, or is it the setup?

Thanks again,
Eric
