Spectral or Ayre (combo)

Hello,
what would you choose if the decision needs to be made from two systems between these combo's:

Spectral Audio preamp Dmc 12 + power Dma 150

Ayre Acoustics pream V-5xe + power K-5xe

Thanks for your opinion and brief comments.

But isn’t Spectral Audio a higher level than Ayre? I’ve read reviews that Spectral audio is very sterile sounding, really is it? Maybe it depends on other audio equipment? ...but yes, Ayre very highly valued by audiophiles
