Integrated amp choice. Ayre AX5 Twenty vs Mark Levinson 585

I just ordered the Osprey to go with my recently purchased Raven Celeste Towers. The Celeste Towers replaced a pair of Tekton Electron SEs that just didn't do it for me. The Towers are a much more refined and coherent speaker a better sounding speaker all around. I'm just curious as to what speakers you are using with the Nighthawk. The people at Raven are a great bunch of guys. Very easy to talk to and they'll take as much time as necessary to answer every question you may have. I can't wait to get the Osprey. BTW the Osprey is 30 watts/channel.

I’ve been thinking about getting another amp and a friend who owns a Audio Note Ongaku amp told me I should look at the $4K Technics SU-G30 amp...

never heard the AX5.....but I've had an all Ayre system for years....never a problem.

The B&W 805 D3 is a very forgiving loudspeaker. Either amp will sound great on those speakers. At this level, between your 2 choices, it is a matter of taste.  Both Integrated amps are outstanding respectively.
Have fun!

Happy Listening!

I'm thinking of selling my 702S2 for used 805D3 and adding a sub. I will be driving them with McIntosh MA6600. Anyone here go from 700 series to 800? Thoughts?
