Hello, looking for some assistance please.
Newbie to the site & forum, but not a newbie to hifi, dabbled with various systems in various rooms over the years, just starting to move towards AV equipment and digital music formats, listen to all genres of music, punk to classic jazz, but recently been listening to a great deal of toons from my teens (late 70s) and hence my move towards equipment from the late 70s (nostalgia, is it just a thing of the past...??) and my question / challenge below.
I have recently purchased a vintage Kenwood KR10000II receiver, sounds superb; currently playing through some wall mounted Dali Mentor Menuets.
In an attempt to beef up the bass, I am trying to hook the receiver up to a Monitor Audio R360HD active sub-woofer. I have removed the metal ‘jumpers’ from the back of the receiver which connect the pre-out to power in) and connected a couple of RCA cables from the ‘pre-out’ L & R on the receiver to the L & R input on the sub.
When I make these connections the sound stops coming from the Dali’s, and no sound comes from the sub (which I have set all the controls to ‘normal’ settings)
Can I anyone please advise what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks
