Richard, remember when we tried the Ayre AX-7 and it kept going into protection mode? This makes me think your subs may be out of phase.
But, if plugging directly seems to have corrected this, then, please ignore.

Weird
I have a pair of GoldenEar Triton 1 speakers, which have built-in subwoofers. Evidently, the right subwoofer lead fell off the speaker some time ago without my knowledge. I’ve been listening for quite a while with only one subwoofer, really enjoying the sound in blissful ignorance. Everything sounded great including pieces with deep bass such as formidable organ recordings.
Today I discovered the plug out of the wall and plugged it back in. The system immediately closed up, became dull, lacking ambiance. I pulled the plug back out. Sound was wonderful. Everything sounded just right, including the bass which was full and rich.
I’m now listening without the right subwoofer for good.
Weird!
