I have a D1x, K1x, V5x, just bought a pair of Merlin VSM-MM. After a long wait to get them, and a long break in period (100 hours so far, not finished), I can tell you the results are nothing short of amazing. Such precision and resolution, while being so smooth... No lack of bass (very tight and controlled, very extended highs. A superb match. I have JPS suprconductor 2s. I do recommend the Merlins with Ayre, no questions.

Also: what was the effect of the evolution thing on your Ayre gear ? thks.

Lyp,
I have only recently gotten my amp back from Ayre, but what I perceive is an increase in the bottom end, along with a marginal increase in the backround "Blackness". I run balanced throughout, so the backround was always good, just seems like its improved now. My CDP was purchased new with the "e" upgrade, so I do not have any comments on how this changed its playback. In addition, I just ended up going a different route with the speakers (Tara Labs Micro Be's).
Hope this was helpful.

Try the PS Audio GCC-250 Control Amps and use the balance BAM.
