Naim x Ayre

Hi Friends,

Does anyone have experience with these two brands?

I am thinking about either of the following two systems:

Ayre C-5Xe + Preamp K-5Xe + Power V-5Xe

or Naim CD2X + Preamp NAC 282 + Hicap2 + NAPSC+ Power NAP 250.2

The speakers would be Merlin VSM MM, ProAc Response D28 or Wilson Audio Sophia2.

Thanks and regards,

Rodrigo

I can only speak on the Wilson Matching based on listening experience. If you go Wilson get the Ayre Components as they match very well.

My Friend has the Naim CDX2 (without the XPS2)and it leaps and bounds better than the lower Naim Models.

In my experiences with Naim and Ayre definitely are different tonally so you need to listen what works best for you.
