Ayre with Wilson


I'm getting ready to purchase a new Ayre pre and amp for my Wilson Sophia 2s. Any recommendations on speaker and IC cables that would be a good synergy with the system? I would like to spend less than 3k for both.

Thanks

Thanks guys! I heard Ayre 5 series 20s separates with Rockports and they were using the new Audioquest Fire xlr-Sounded spectacular. I actually have a pair of Wireworld Eclipse 7 xlr so I may go the Wireworld route first and see how that works and when i have enough money buy some Audioquest Fires.
Ctsooner,

Yes, I could not agree more. Ayre, I thought, always had a nice sound in the top end, but leaved something to be desired in the low end. When I listened to the new AX-5 Twenty the first time, my previous impression of Ayre equipment changed completely. I was thoroughly impressed--No lack of bass there and seemed to have lots of current on reserve. After going back and forth on Ayre and other manufacturers, I then decided to save up a little more money and go with the VX and KX Twenty's instead. This will allow me a little more flexibility in the future plus give me more wattage if needed.

BTW - I compared these to Constellation Inspiration Product on S5 Magicos, which was truly an awesome system as well. Extremely transparent. TOUGH CHOICE. At the end of the day I just loved the Ayre sound and felt it would fit my Wilsons better.
Thanks for all of the great suggestions guys. My Ayre dealer is going to let demo some audioquest and cardas cables. I may give The Cable Company a call as well.
