Is anyone using the sub out and connecting their speakers directly to the back panel on their Pioneer Kuro plasma? It looks like you could set up a home theater speaker setup without using a reciever. How does it sound? I'm sure it's not like a reciver with a 5.1 setup, but I'm curious just how good it sounds and how many speakers are you running?

Its nothing more than a subwoofer output on a receiver. You would need an amplified or powered sub to power your sub.

Per the THX/ISF tech that calibrated my Kuro, using the sub out to a small sub (like a 6") substantially improves the sound quality by allowing the built in Kuro speakers to handle just the higher frequencies (> 120)

That is if you use the internal TV speakers. Most people will have it connected to a surround system. However, you are correct. The low end and high end will sound much better.

I used a power sub with my 4280 and it sounded great...Not as good as a 5.1 system, But way better with the low end improvement with the powered sub

Agreed. Mine is a bedroom set, hence the lack of external speakers.
