Ayre Acoustics V-5xe Power Amplifier

“Good? You have no idea—but then finding out is an adventure you owe yourself.”– Wes Phillips, SoundStage.com

” If we must define it, Ayre’s style is taut/rhythmic as enabled by quick well-rendered bass but this quality is accompanied also by flow where the vital ring-out of tones is immaculately tracked. This is co-responsible not merely for the body around voices and instruments but also interconnects subsequent notes over time. Hence today’s conclusion must combine the Ayre K-5xeMP and V-5xe. Berlin’s Sender Radio 1 has a station motto For adults only! This fits the Ayres equally. Those who chase the next high of Olympian records in individual acoustic disciplines are bound to overlook them.” – Ralph Werner (6Moons),  2012
