Integrated amp choice. Ayre AX5 Twenty vs Mark Levinson 585

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?
