Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe


I am loving the Ayre sound (V-5xe Amp, QX-5 Twenty DAC / streamer). My speakers are the new Revel F228be

While I think V-5xe is great, I am thinking of upgrading to the newer VX-5 Twenty. Just because.... I hear my sirens calling :-)


For you Ayre owners, is this a worthy upgrade?

Or should I consider another solid state Amp? Pass Labs come to mind

Thanks!

OP.

I would not worry too much about defying the law of audiophiles on spending more on amp than speakers.
I recently acquired a pair of Triangle Altea esw speakers that were only $2000 new.
My integrated cost more than double that.

But these are the best sounding speakers I have had in my system so far and I have had some that cost considerably more.
Maybe I have just not tried the "right" expensive speakers yet!
But I tend not to worry too much about WTH anybody else thinks or says.
Its your money, your ears.
Enjoy!
