I just got a new Denon avr with Audyssey calibration. Which hookup would be best:

A) "Sub Out" from avr to sub

or

B) "Fronts" output on avr to line level sub inputs, then to sub outputs to my front speakers

I'm assuming the hookup is crucial because Audyssey will be doing the measuring and setting the crossovers. Has anyone had experience with this? I'm unsure as to which two hookups actually sound better but option B seems to offer more control. Thanks.

    Sub out of AVR to LFE in on Subwoofer.

    The .1 on 5.1 or 7.1 is a discreet LFE track for movies. Your Denon will also have a Mains + LFE option that you will want to check out.

    i would definitely hook the sub up to the avr. As fas as the wife goes give her some money and tell her to go shopping or to go get a manicure/pedicure, that should get her out of you way for a while.
