| Ayre KX-R pre? I ordered my KXR back at the end of November and was lucky enough to get it into my system just over a week ago. Right out of the box it sounded great (feeding my MXRs), much better than any other preamp I've ever had in my system.The parts qualit... | |
| Need your opinion..Ayre 5vex and the McIntosh 352 Since it takes Ayre amplifiers about a month until they settle in and open up, I think you made a mistake writing off the Ayre after only "a few days." I have both the V5-xe (now in a second system) and the MX-R monoblocks, and I couldn't be happi... | |
| Anyone audition the new Thiel 3.7s yet? Because of the black cap, I think they look best in very dark woods -- I especially like the new Ebony composite (shown in the Ayre suite at the past CES). However, in that price range, I much prefer the elegance of the Vandersteen Quatro Wood, wh... | |
| Cayin H80A or Ayre AX-7e I bought my wife an AX-7e / CX-7e combo for a secondary system and I think she prefers it in many respects to our big system. It really sounds great, its from a great company that has been around for a long time, has tremendous customer service, h... | |
| How does the Ayre V1-xe compare to the MX-R's? I went from the V5-xe to the MX-Rs, so its not the exact same comparison you're looking for, but I listened extensively before making the jump. Also a fan of what Charles Hansen has accomplished at Ayre, I have the K-5xe and C-5xe. I think the MX-... | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield While people were questioning Crutchfield's listing of MSRP for "each" speaker, if you get the MSRP price list from Thiel direct, they have been listing the same on a for "each" speaker basis for years. They do that for all speakers in the line, m... | |
| The synergy of Ayre a.k.a. the You should be able to get the MSRP from your dealer or simply call either Steve or Michael at Ayre directly (303.442.7300 x-233 for Steve or x-223 for Michael). The prices depend entirely on the length. From memory, however, the first meter of the... | |
| The synergy of Ayre a.k.a. the While I obviously can't know what Mcrheist experienced or didn't, I can honestly say that I have never had customer service with any company that compares with Ayre, whether Charlie, Michael or Steve. Everyone at Ayre has always been more than gen... | |
| The synergy of Ayre a.k.a. the I love my Ayre system. From my two sources (D-1xe for DVD & C-5xe for music) to my preamp (K-5xe) to my new MX-R monoblocks (which replaced my V-5xe), I'm Ayre through and through. Even my interconnects are Ayre signatures. As soon as my Ayre ... | |
| Ayre MX-R vs Lamm M2.2 Opinions I would second John's comments. My MXR's have been in my system for almost 2 months now and would never have called them dry, but especially now that they are fully broken in (the most significant impact of break-in occurred during the first 2 wee... | |
| Feedback on new Ayre MX-R Monoblocks You really should read the other threads, as people who have purchased and lived with the Monoblocks chime in there. Personally, I believe the MX-Rs are a perfect compliment to Vandersteen 5As, which is why I ordered a pair after listening to them... | |
| AHs anyone heard the new Ayre MX-R mono blocs? Hey everyone, I've got a bit of egg on my face. It looks like both Teajay and I were part right about the pricing. The MX-Rs do retail for $16,500 in the standard "silver" finish, but adding the black finish adds $250 per chassis -- for a total of... | |
| Ayre vs VTL vs BAT While you would have to wait a bit yet (and who knows the impact Charlie's accident and recovery will have on the release date), the next product in the "R" series (i.e., "Reference") will be a new pre-amplifier (to be designated KX-R presumably).... | |
| AHs anyone heard the new Ayre MX-R mono blocs? I don't know who gave Teajay the $17K figure, but I confirmed with the factory this morning that the pricing is $16,500 for a pair in silver and $16,750 a pair in black. But what's a few hundred dollars between friend. |
