Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e?
Oh, my post didn't come off the way I wanted it to I guess.  I didn't take your post negatively at all.  I agree that we all have our likes and dislikes.  I always warn folks that on boards we all tout what we purchase or want to, lol.  It's all g... 
Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e?
of course there are other good options.  We just happen to be vocal. I have enjoyed many speakers out there in various set ups.  I like the Maggies a lot.  I like the ET's for the price if I'm the only one listening.  In the upper ranges I like th... 
Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e?
the thing that folks really need to keep in mind when dealing with subs is how well they mate wiht their speakers.  This is a very difficult thing to do since there are just so many variables.  What works for some may not work for others.  I love ...

Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e?
taww, I was just saying it would make a great little system.  My main system is a pair of Vandersteen Quatro CT's in Audi Havana Black, Ayre AX5/20, Ayre QX5 DAC/HP AMP/streamer, Mac mini rebuilt by Steven Nugent with Paul Hynes LPS and Steve's si...

My buddy Matt is in the end stretch of a footer shootout in his system.  He's had most of the top names in.  He's got the Shun Mook in right now.    https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/absolute-top-tier-dac-for-standard-res-redbook-cd Go to the... 
Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale?
SJ, good luck wiht recovery.  Totally sucks. I have heard the small Maggie on many occasions and if set up properly, they rock.  Just very good speakers.  The small KEF's just need to be uses with very good electronics to sound their best in my hu... 
Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e?
great thread guys. It's funny, because it made me think of what system I'd put together for a second room in the house.  I'd probably get the Vandersteen 1's and then a Belles Aries integrated or another used Ayre AX7e with Audioquest Rocket speak...

I’ve owned your integrated amp. It’s awsome with a pair of Vandersteen 1’s. The bass is satisfying in most small to mid sized rooms like I assume you have. I base that on your system.  I’d go give them a listen for sure.

Tonic likes chasing the cat when it’s let out of the bag.  If you ask anyone of us who own the bassEQ, I would bet that 100% would tel you how worth it it is. I’m really looking forward to hearing it with a pair of Quatros lol.  
Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more?
Statman makes the most sense. It’s really kind of a silly question when you read the posts and think about it.

The EQ made a world of difference in my room to say the least.

LMAO....come on...just dig a new basement in the foundation......:).....You would put the amps in the room next to teh speakers and JUST worry about a platform and footers for those two.  Everything else would be simple to set up.  The only long r...

"We set up a Naim system with ATC SCM 40 on a Naim NAC 272, 250dr, XPS system with Isotek power conditioning, all high performance cabling, and the sound was very realistic, with an excellent sense of image width depth, clarity and dynamics. The t...
