thanks, Joey54. There is not way for me to listen to Harbeths - my interest is piqued by what I have read, and what I have learned about my own tastes.
As for the amps - again limited local fare. Wondering about Cary or Cayin, Naim and the like, but Ayre is the only one nearby I have had a chance to audition (also MAC, Levinson, Bryston, Audio Research, etc), in addition to the tidbits I have at home already (a Linn for a tertiary system, and some Metronome equipment running Wilson Benesch ARCs in the main 2ch system, then a HT setup). I am looking for a new 2ch setup for an office we are creating with a home renovation, and have a pair of N805s. They sounded quite nice with the Ayre when I tried it, but I think I would like to go for something different....
Anyway, we'll see what I can find.
Thanks, again.
