    Sure but it will depend on the rolloff of the internal xover, which may be high or low.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    yes it actually will, if you have a really really high order then no, but most amps have a 30hz highpass about 1 or 2 order so yes it will
