I recently upgraded my RM 7200 Satellite speaker system to floorstanding Tsi 300 fronts and a CS 10 center. I will soon be adding a new subwoofer as well -- probably a PSW 505 or something comparable.

Question: With the old satellite set-up Polk recommended the speaker level connections. Now that I have floorstanding speakers should I switch to a LFE input? Which will give me the better sound?

AVR: Pioneer VSX-1018AH
Front: TSI 300
Center: CS 10
Surround: RM 3300

    Try it both ways and see what you like better.

    I have found IMO that for 2 channel listing I like going to the sub and then to the speakers. In HT setup I like have the sub on the LFE. Right now I don't have a sub on my HT but my L/R speakers go down to 20hz which works fine for most movies but for action movies I think having a sub on the LFE sounds better.
