Ayre AX-5/20
Ayre CX-7e(mp)
Ayre P-5xe
Ayre QB-9
Ayre L-5xe
…Vandersteen Quatro CTs
You ended up with Ayre, what are your speakers?
Like many topics, I’m not asking for buying recommendations. As an audiophile I’m genuinely curious if you are a current Ayre user, what speakers do you run with them, and how is the synergy?
I've always loved the sound, but never quite was able to swing that way, ending up with Luxman. Those of you who have gone with Ayre, how are you using them?
Best,
Erik
@favresj, I completely agree with you. The AX-7e is a very, very under-appreciated piece of hardware. Moving from an AX-7e to the AX-5/20 is like going from 98.5% to 99.9% (IMHO). I'm not one for exaggeration or hyperbole - while the difference was obvious, I could have been continued to be extremely happy with the AX-7e (particularly since I had Ayre hardware the necessary crossover to use with a pair of Vandersteen Quatro CTs). Drive it with a CX-7e(mp) or a QB-9/20 (balanced) and you're got a match made in heaven. |
@drubin, unfortunately I have not. |
