My question was for 3-year future planning. The 107/2s are currently upstairs, the Ayre components downstairs with Ref 1s. I can't decide whether my Ref 1s supplemented by a pair of subs can replace my 107/2s when I need to downsize. The 10" subs don't match the LF extension of the 107/2s, but my 15" subs might.
KEF KUBE between Ayre preamp and amp?
I've been driving my KEF Ref 107/2s with Parasound JC 2 BP - 107/2 KUBE - JC 1 monoblocks, but I may want to use Ayre KX-5/20 - KUBE - VX-5/20 instead. I realize Charles Hansen discouraged inserting anything between an Ayre preamp and amp, and I did have a poor experience when I tried inserting a Bryston 10B crossover -- some of the sonic magic seemed lost. Am I likely to experience the same thing if I insert the KUBE? Any suggestions beside eliminating the KUBE?
