Ayre C7xe integrated vs AR VSi55 with Proac D25 sp


I have the Ayre now but want a little more tube sound. I'm using Kimber monocle XL for speaker cables. Does anyone have experience with this combination or an alternative integrated in the price range?

Thanks Jim Ashbook

Are you using the Ayre in balanced mode?
Does your CD/SACD input come from an XLR player?
The word on the street (wots?) is that this integrated
only shines as part of a balanced system.
