Now I am trying to figure out how I seem to be the only person who never saw or heard anything about connecting two channels to a sub. Hmmm.

Lol. I felt the same way when I learned this too. It’s a great feature that McIntosh preamps have a 2nd set of XLR outputs to feed left and right subs or both channels feeding a single sub with the sub summing the signal internally. This way, if the mastering engineer mixed the bass guitar, for instance, completely into the left channel and the drums into the right (like some Beatles tracks are ....) well if you had a sub connected to the right XLR only, your sub would never see Paul’s bass notes if mixed in this manner, only your main speakers would see that signal. Bummer, right? Additionally, I know some seasoned listeners are convinced that there is some stereo information buried in low frequencies but that is a story for a different thread.
