That's a ton of money to pay for a 15 watt t-amp. Indeed and Topping make good quality t-amps that should should run you a lot less, and I have trouble imagining the Trends is that much better.

That all adds up to $961 usd, quite a bit more then the Paradigm system (even shipped) that you said was outside of your budget... which would blow this system away and also includes a DAC

 

[Jinx Jinxed]

nope!
 

SubTotal: $1,199.00​

Duties & Tax 

: $413.46​

Shipping: $232.20​

Order Total: $1,844.66​

 

[groovyd]

The paradigm is $899 before shipping duties and tax, this system you put together is $961 before the same...

I have heard very good things about the Teac for a small amp/dac. Nice choice for a compact setup. And good things about Wharfedale speakers. Yamaha subs, almost never, and that Yamaha doesn't even have an adjustable low pass filter so that you can match your sub with the speakers. Given that the Teac has subwoofer out (you don't speaker connections), I'd get the Jamo SUB 210. Ask here in this home audio subwoofer community. I suspect that they'll tell you the same thing.

yes but add duties,taxes alone will add around 400 dollars to the price tag and don't forget the shipping cost either.
and also they do not ship to europe.

i prefer not to have down firing subs since i live in apartment above someone ;')

Bass is omnidirectional. Doesn't make any difference whether the sub is downfiring or front firing or rear firing.

 

[groovyd]

i agree with no down firing sub... tends to get boomy especially on weak old wooden floors... it does make a difference though the sound itself travels omni directionally the driver oscillating up and down directly translates into the floor doing the same.  it is a direct physical coupling instead of an indirect coupling through the air waves.

 

[Jinx Jinxed]

i think i'm gonna skip these subs and pick up the SVS pb-1000 later on, or would that be overkill? 

 

[Jinx Jinxed]

this pretty much blew my budget (650 euro) haha!
im looking for cheaper way to power this beast SVS and Wharfedale.

i happen to have a integrated stereo amplifier (pretty darn huge) lying somewhere in my apartment witch previously belongs to my father, but since he left and probaly forgot about he's equipment, might aswell see if i can use it.(rofl)
im talking about the : Sony TA-FA5 ES

i probaly need the behringer Garbulky was talking about to be able to connect it to my pc.
other than that, does it have all the bells and whistle's to be able to connect the wharfedale and SVS?

 

[cel4145]

It has two pre-outs which you should be able to connect to the sub.

 

[Jinx Jinxed]

whats ur opinion about bowers & wilkins 686 S2?

 

[cel4145]

They are good speakers
