Ayre with Wilson


I'm getting ready to purchase a new Ayre pre and amp for my Wilson Sophia 2s. Any recommendations on speaker and IC cables that would be a good synergy with the system? I would like to spend less than 3k for both.

Thanks

For ME...Ayre's own cables didn't do it. I simply love the high priced Wireworld stuff. They do not alter the color of sound, yet have an ease that is absolutely captivating. AT least try it. Also, I like Audioquest Sky/Everest (I think they have new names for these now)....the very top of the line William F. Lowe Sig. was awful with my Ayre stuff.
I have an Ayre AX5/20. We played it on Sophia's, Sasha and Alexandria I think they call it. They used the Vallhala cabling and also the Transparent. I hated both as it made the speakers way too hot. I think that Ayre and Audioquest work great together as an above poster stated. I'd go with the Fire balanced as they are the newest. I'd also use the Castle Rocks as it has a bit less silver than some of the others and that will keep the Wilson's in their sweet spot. You really need to go listen to cables though. I know David Wilson used to use Spectral and MIT. The Ayre really makes those speakers sound their best though.
Thanks guys! I heard Ayre 5 series 20s separates with Rockports and they were using the new Audioquest Fire xlr-Sounded spectacular. I actually have a pair of Wireworld Eclipse 7 xlr so I may go the Wireworld route first and see how that works and when i have enough money buy some Audioquest Fires.
I assume you are talking the VX and KX-5 Twenty's? I heard the mono twenty's and was blown away. I need to get down to Audio Connection soon to hear the VX-5 Twenty. I am sure it's killer. I can't state enough what the Twenty did to the AX-5. I'm sure you liked the AQ with the Ayre. They are so neutral, you get all that the Ayre is giving to you.
