So for theater I'm getting great full range music and soundtrack from my mains + f113v's, with LFE coming from the Paradigm.
When I'm running stereo straight off my C2500 I'm just getting full range (Salons + f113v2's).
In this configuration no adjustments are necessary between 5.1 and stereo listening. I almost sold the Paradigm sub, but now I'm glad I kept it!

That makes sense. However, It sounds like that you are still not sharing a sub. Your sub is strictly for HT use as I understand it. It seems like the OP (as I ) would like to use the sub, both for HT and stereo listening. In my case, the problem is that my subs have one input only (RCA).
One thing I could do is dedicate one sub to 2ch and one sub to HT, but then I would loose the additive effect (and the whole point of using two subs in the first place) of two subs in a big open room like mine
In this way I would also avoid changing settings back and forth, but again at the expense of loosing the advantage of two subs.
The OP is about sharing one (or two in my case) subs between two preamps in passthru mode (processor and 2ch pre). If his speakers don't go as low as yours ( I understand the Revels have awesome low frequency response and i would hope they do considering how amazing they look), then he may still want the help of a sub for 2ch listening...
