@dbphd I'm still loosely keeping an preamp to possibly mate to my JC5 amp , The KX 5 has always been on my wish list but would better synergy come from the JC2 ? I'll be integrating this into an existing home theater setup.
Ayre KX-5 preamp with V-3 amp
I'd like to try my Ayre KX-5xeMP preamp with an Ayre V-3 amp to drive a pair of KEF LS50s augmented by a pair of KEF KC62 subs. Source would be Roon provided via ultraRendu with LPS 1.2 and Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC. If anyone knows of an Ayre V-3 for sale I'm a buyer.
