Best Speakers to match Ayre V-1xe and K-1xe


I've listened to a lot of options in the last 3 weeks. Wilson Sophias and Watt Puppy 8's, Dynaudio C2's and C4's, Avalaon Indras. I wish I could hear Vandersteen 5a's but no local dealer. Does anyone who knows well or owns Ayre gear comment on the best fit?

If you didn't like focus of the Wilsons then you will like the more diffuse soundstage the Vandersteen 5a's throw.(remember you have to add the $1k for the xcrossover otherwise you will fry drivers..), I found the Dynaudio split the difference but with a more closed in from a box which neither the Wilson (with proper placement) or the Vandersteens ever present.

You're Ayre gear will match perfectly with all those speakers.. I know that's no help but it's very neutral with plenty of power.
