Hi, i have a yamaha rxv1300 receiver, front: paradigm studio 60, and sub: velodyne vpr1200.

this system is mainly for music, but the problem that i am having is, what is the best way to connect the subwoofer?
i could use the speaker level .. but for some reason, i personally don't like this way, since i need another pair of speaker wires and i have a feeling that this way will degrade the front speaker sound.

shall i use the lfe? but isn't it only work for hometheatre? (cuz i tried this lfe, but the bass seem to be lacking)

shall i use the pre out of L+R?

what are the ways i should be connecting?
shall i set the front to small? since i have a subwoofer, i want to lessen the stress on the amp?

i am confused...
Thanks
