How does high-pass filter requirement affect system decisions?


I've been thinking about my Ayre AX-7e that drives my Vandersteen Quattro CTs (the AX-7e had the required high-pass filter installed by Ayre). Other than the obvious, how does that filter affect system choices?

For example, I'd assume the current-delivery requirements are reduced, the need to damp back-EMF is reduced, and perhaps the speaker cable characteristics change (since they are not carrying as much low-frequency, high-current information). Are massively overbuilt amplifiers really necessarily to bring out the best from the Quatros?

Thanks for the information. The dealer is going to set them up but I want to learn the process myself.  Is there a problem with the power cables that come with the Quatro? I am so tired of thick and inflexible chords and cables. I know this may be audiophile heresy but when I reconfigure all my equipment in my new audio cabinet I am going to replace any cable or power chord that cannot easily be positioned.  I know that cables can make a difference but I am tired of the rats nest of garden hoses behind all my equipment.  :-)  

We are neighbors. I'm in Denton.
No problem with the stock cables, per-se. I'm sure they successfully supply power. Is there an audible difference between the stock power cabled and the Pangea? Don't know. But the Pangea AC 9 MKII sure LOOK bad-ass, and isn't that what really matters? They're like a firehose connected to the wall. I could fend off a band of ninjas with a few swings of a 1.5 meter cable. Plus, I've blown $135 on dumber things. The AC-14SE cables are MUCH more flexible, and look a lot better than the stock cables. I have AC-14SE power cables connected to the rest of my components.
I ran the 7 mk2 for a long weekend with loaner arc ref75 se while the Ayre was back at factory w Twenty series upgrade.
really sweet amp !
i think if I had a smallish room at moderate levels without a lot of rock music and air conditioning it would be on my short list.
listened to some VTL monoblocks the other day that were impressive.
thanks for the info on Pangea cords.
I think Richard thinks highly of the wire and welded/ mounded connection integrity of the factory provided cord.. but is open to possibility that aftermarket cords offer.
