That would just help you do a reality check.

Where should I place a Radio Shack like switch?

and the SB2 rca to the pre-amp input
or

drive the SB2 straight into the power amp

I've had my Transporter for almost a couple of weeks now and thought it

Sounds much better to me too, thanks Inguz.
I will run my sweeps again in case I messed that up. For some reason my

on channel 2, which was the same for both sweeps. I swapped the tracks

The Transporter could be an interesting alternative but is it
worthwhile facing a Verdi.

I am not likely to import a tansporter in Europe just for trial.

Wow another WNA Mk2 owner. Still got to get mine connected to my

My own experience with obtaining a Transporter couldn't have been more

Yeah sorry I had a solution for the Bryston already (exactly what you

the AV8 must do for now. Is there a way without putting the signal
through the sub?? That must degrade the sound.

Thanks for the info. I think... can you put that into laymans terms.
In the meantime I am off to Google to try and figure it out. Ignorance
