I have the same set-up for about 15 years now: Hales T8 with Ayre V-5xe / K-5xeMP. i had the K-5xeMP serviced by Ayre and substituted a Conrad Johnson PF-R during the interim and noticed a substantial difference in bass (much more pronounced with the CJ). It kind of makes me wonder what would a PF-R / Premier 350 combo would sound like.
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
