Joncourage,
Good description of the Ayre sound. The most common speaker to match with Ayre (And best, in my opinion), is Vandersteen. The model 1 is great but I would get the 2 if you can afford it. If you do it right, you can save a great deal of money and soundwise, the results are stunning. Just to note, I say this from experiance, I'm currently using both Ayre and Vand in my main system. I've had stuff that cost a lot more but nothing to equal what I have now.
