Preferences for which Integrated Amp?


I am having a difficult time choosing between a Lavardin is Reference and a Ayre AX-7e. Can anyone shed some light on them? Also any other suggestions in that price range. Also think about possible dip into separates with First Watt J2 or F3 and a preamp (passive?).

I have both high and low efficiency speakers.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for the responses!! Sorry for the late reply, Audiogon was not showing the this thread that I initiated.

I am leaning towards the Ayre, because of the passive, rep., build quality, and its serviceable by Ayre in the U.S.

I just traded a phono preamp for a First Watt F3 so I'll see how it goes, but might still get the Ayre.
