My NAD T765 says to sub out to Left channel. Isn't LFE input better?

Shouldn't I use the LFE input instead of the Left/Right input on my PSW 505

    If you use the LFE, you bypass the PSW505's internal crossover.

    I'd most likely utilize the LFE input since your receiver might have a wider crossover so you can better blend in your sub to your mains.

    If you use the L/R input instead, make sure the cut-off on the sub is at its highest and just use your receiver to set the cut-off or vice versa if you plan on using your subs built-in x-over instead.

    LFE sounds like the easiest option. I was surprised my NAD manual said to input in the Left channel.

    ..... because if you don't do as Freddy tells it, it will result in double filtering of the sub, not good.
