Ayre CDX-7eMP or Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP

Thanks everyone for all the info. I have been looking at the Aesthetix Atlas for an amp upgrade. What do you think?

The Bel Canto's have a nice low end. I have read that the Ayre lacks in that department. Do you find this to be true?
I would hate to give up that nice low end.

Thank you for the great insight. I sometimes wonder about generalzations regarding equpment made here on Audiogon. It seems people post a small problem or issue with a particular piece and everybody jumps in on it. By the time the thread has run its course that small issue becomes a monster. (Ayre equipment being very analytical for example)
Anyway, It seems my best bet is to pick up a V5 here and keep my Bel Cantos for a comparison.
Any year of manufacturing I should steer clear or look for in a V5?
Thanks again
