REL suggest using it in conjuction with your mains set to large, yes. They also suggest that you should run one connection from your main L/R power amp AND a connection from the sub out of your processor. Even in this configuration, you would set the sub roll-off to such a level that the sub would not be reproducing any of the frequencies that your mains handle.

This didn't quite sound right to me.

At the end of the day, it's a subwoofer - I've got it connected to the subwoofer out of my preamp. If RELs could not be used in this way, anyone using monitor/satellite speakers (suck as M&K, whose entire range only go down to 80Hz) would have to buy M&K, velodyne or similar subs!

I don't think this is what's causing the problem though - if it was, I wouldn't be getting bass on any preset.
