anyone listen to the new Ayre V5 or V6

After listing to the new superamp Ayre v1x (the best i have heard) i bougth the Arye V6 (wich i 3 V5 in the same box) six channel without listing first(not i stock here in Scandinavia) I will use it for triamping Audio Artistry and hope its almost as god as V1X. Any opinions on V5 or V6? Anyone agrees that the v1x is on of the best amps around?

Just wondering if anyone has had the same misfortune that I have had with two failures. Ayre replaced the first DX-5 player that failed in the first 30 days and had to replace the OPPO laser drive in the second player after it failed in the first 30 days. I have played this repaired unit about 100 hrs with no issues so far. It is the best source I have ever owned.

It is a shame Charles Hansen and company did not have the courtesy to reply to two letters I sent them. I only received an email from them when I placed an ad to sell the unit here on audiogon, since I was so disgusted after the second failure. But since it does sound great, with my REF5 and Ayre V5 and Magnepan 1.7s I guess I will keep it.

I am really enjoying my v5xe purchased this last July. Much less grain and much more musical than the Krell 302 which I have sold, not that the Krell did not have a lot of dynamic range and a great sound. I have heard the MXRs and they are fantastic, more dynamic range and extension. However, I agree with my dealer that the V5xe has a very desirable warmth that we do not hear as much of with the mono mxrs.
