Ayre K5Xe/V5Xe heard it - loved it it is the one for me. Nothing else I have listened to sounded so right in my system. It's more than I ever wanted to spend, but it will be the last stop, I'm sure of that. If I have to compromise, I will check out the AX7e integrated. Haven't had a chance to audition the phono stage, but that is under consideration for the future.
Solid state amp ultimate stop...
Hi,
I am wondering, when upgrading your power amplifier (solid state/hybrid/digital but not tube), which brand of amplifier do you think could be your last stop for your solid state amplifier investment? Put it in another way, which brand(s) of solid state power amp would be your ultimate dream machine that you believe you will be very happy to live with for a long time? In your answer, please consider a realistic top budget that you are willing to spend for that ultimate power amp. As for me, I will be very happy when I finally upgraded to a Pass or BAT product.
This question is just for the sake of discussion, please .. don't flame me. :)
Thanks,
KG
