I love the AE100 MK2’s so much I bought a second pair for the bedroom. In the living room my components are Rotel, Schiit, REL, and Atlas loudspeaker cables which truly compliment the loudspeakers. I am also using passive power conditioning from Angela Gilbert Yeung original designer from Blue Circle Audio.
Cheers!

Ian,

I love this kind of review because it shows folks that great systems can be achieved without breaking the bank.

In a small space, the NAD or Cambridge AXA 35 and a Wiim Pro Plus, all for under $1200 would provide years of enjoyment, and at a volume level that would have the neighbors telling you to turn it down. 🙂

Whether it is self-powered speakers from Q Acoustics, KEF, Triangle, or components systems, I can’t remember when so much could be had for so little money.

Brian,

On my list of things to write. We have 20 hardware reviews in the editing phase so it might not be until December.

Thank you for this review but what happened to the follow up system builder?

Steve,

Thank you for your kind words.

That is a very interesting question. The tonal balance would certainly work. I still have the AE100 MK2 at home and will see if I can get my hands on a PowerNode agin to try it out.

I can see it being a very good system if it works. The AE loudspeakers are excellent.

Thanks for another great review Ian. Do you think the Bluesound Powernode might sound great with these speakers? Thank you. Steve.

I always enjoy your reviews Ian. I think the Bluesound Powernode
Might be a great sonic match with these speakers? Thank you. Steve.
