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,

BTW, my speakers (in line with the thread) are DIY speakers.

For my office I use an Ayre AX-5 Twenty integrated amp with a NAD M66 as the streamer/DAC, Sonus Faber Electa Amador II speakers, and Sonus Faber Gravis II’s for subs. It sounds sublime. As others have mentioned Sonus Fabers are a great match for Ayre. 
 

For my home theater I use an Ayre V5xe amplifier for the front channels, Anthem AVM 90 processor, Outlaw 7200 amplifier for the surrounds and height channels, Paradigm Founder 100F for LR, Paradigm Founder 90C Center, and Paradigm Founder 40Bs for the surrounds. It works great. The Paradigm Founders look amazing and have beat every speaker I’ve AB tested them against except the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova V’s, which cost more than 3x as much
