Thank you
Unfortunately I have already ordered a Martin Logan Dynamo 700w sub.
But I do see your point exactly on cutting the lower freq to my main speakers as you would in a ht rig with small sat speakers say.
I can see how the combined low freq from both the mains and the sub may make it harder to integrate the sub seamlessly.
I did speak to Ayre before pursuing this and part of the problem is the way the ax7e is built as a fully balanced unit and it just doen not play nice with some subs depending on THEIR grounding design.
There has been a couple of important threads on this previously which Almarg was kind enough to make me aware of. If he had not and I had just connected a sub up using the speaker terminals as common practice would have you do so I could have actually seriously damaged the Ayre internally.

So I will try the wireless approach although it does mean I have full output at the tape loop output but I could likely find a unit to insert inbetween that that would turn it to a variable output. Only just thought of that and I am sure something must already exist for that function, to take a fixed rca output and give you the option to vary it. Google search time!
But thank you Raul.
