@Snoopy8 thanks, I sent them a message to see if the price is negotiable. Ex display.

Item: ARCAM AVR850 AV RECEIVER Price Range:$4000ish Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: Looking at replacing my Primare Spa22 and interested in a Arcam AV850 if any available in my price range. Please don't forget to report your post as FOUND when possible. (You can now delete this text).

@wenI'm sticking with what I already have for the time being.

Each time I switch between the two amps I need to manually adjust the gain and crossover on the sub.

Sorry, should have been Primare Spa22 SUB analog output

Hi @Esoterica I took some pics for you, I hope this helps. So I connected the sub's input to the bottom RCA on the switch output, and connected the Primare I35 Line input and Primare SPA22 SUB analog output to the switches output top RCA's. I think that's right. I hope this makes sense.

@Ruffter The I35 was driving the fronts for 2ch and HT bypass duties (I have since gone back to this arrangement). But I had a problem not long ago when I thought I blow the I35 amp, I made a post about it. When switching equipment on/off or changing sources, I would get the odd pop, but on this day the pop killed all sound, didn't know what to do, so reached out to Primare and was told to do a factory reset, that fixed the problem. I just don't want that to happen again, just in case I do some damage, that's why I wanted the I35 to have it's own dedicated speakers. The Whatmough's do sound good through the I35 but I don't know any better, It's all I know. So I've gone off the idea of extra speakers, like you say put it towards music and beer and really don't have the room. Thanks for the compliment Marty

Went with a two way switch, which seems to be working.

There's nothing wrong with the Whatmough's, I like them very much but I'm using them just for the 5.1 setup and looking for another set of speakers, purely for a 2ch setup to pair well with my Primare I35. I may revert back to the Primare I35 in HT bypass setup. Trying to get ideas first.

These are currently listed in the classifieds, any thoughts? Canton Ergo 72 DC floor standing speakers for $500

Nice looking speakers. I'm considering your Canton's.

@wyn758 what did you upgrade to?

I'm looking at putting in a pair of extra speaker to pair with my Primare I35 for 2ch duties. If possible from the classifieds used. More bang for your buck with $1500 budget but flexible. (I'm spending more time and money on stereo equipment during Covid.) Should I go with towers to fit in between my current speakers, or maybe look at smaller ones to fit below my TV, on the ends of the TV stand. My current tower speakers are Whatmough P31 which I enjoy very much for many years. No real room treatment other than the curtain up against the sitting wall and furnishings. I listen to a wide variety of music rock, hard rock, metal, psychedelia, blues, prog, folk, punk and The Beatles, but I seemed to be stuck in the 60's 70's most of the time and I'm only 46 years old. Sources are Vinyl and streaming, currently trialing Roon. I do like listening louder but with quality sound. I've included some pics for reference. Room dimensions are approximately 5.6mL x 4.4mW x 2.4mH with speakers on the wide side. Speakers are about 2.25m apart 0.9m from back wall, 1.5m from side walls and 2.6m from the sweet spot. Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers Marty

@Bunno77I was using HT bypass till a couple of weeks ago when I had a scare with my equipment. I thought I blow the I35 and speakers, because I had a pop in the speakers from changing sources and lost all sound. Had to do a factory reset, to many thing to turn on correctly in sequence I guess. So I'm thinking of getting another set of smaller speakers and have the I35 as a dedicated 2 ch system in the same room. I can connect to the I35 pre outs but I only have one set of inputs on the sub, where then would I then connect the Av receiver to? use the high level inputs?

Hi all, Which way would be the best to connect my Whatmough Typhoon 3 subwoofer, to my Primare I35 Prisma 2 ch integrated amplifier and Primare Spa22/23 AV receiver 5.1 together? Have I got the right or enough connections from the sub to do this? or should I use a two way switch or maybe start looking out for a second sub, to use independently with each system. Currently the sub is connected to the AV receiver by the 1 RCA cable, connected to the sub input and to the receivers sub output. I've included some pic for your reference taken from the web.
