The Gate installed in my very old breaker box ( not guilty for the messy wiring in there!)
Best $50 I ever spent! The drapes have tightened the bottom end dramatically

Hi Kevin.
So you replaced the Ayre. Based on the previous comments, you made a major upgrade with the BAT; looks like a beast. 

And such beautiful craftsmanship on the 401. Did you always have this or maybe you didn't have any pics.

Some big changes to your system, love the Spatials. They're very special speakers. 
You must be listening every chance you get.

Enjoy!
Jim

Hi, Uber. What did the new Ayre replace? And what made you decide to go with an "all in one" box"
