A friend had Aerials that were kind of power hungry. If you can find an Ayre V1XE...they have and sound much more powerful. In any case, Ayre uses differentially balanced circuits and sound much better with XLR balanced interconnects.
ISO Advise on choosing Ayre or Bat power amp
Looking at an Ayre V-5xe or a BAT VK-225se-both used, approx. same age and WPC power. Matching to Aerial Acoustics LR-5’s ( 4 ohms, 89 sensitivity) listening room is 22x24.
