Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier

I was told by Ayre not to sell at this low price and if I ever wanted to buy this unit I need to sign an agreement that I would not sell the unit within 1 year.

Unless you are an Ayre dealer/distributor, I find their demands amazingly silly. Did the manufacturer make these demands or some crazy dealer?

Pawel8: Ayre equipment takes a long time to break in. I know you put the Ayre AX-5 up for sale but I suggest you give it more time to break in before you sell it.

A long long time to break in.

"I was told by Ayre not to sell at this low price and if I ever wanted to buy this unit I need to sign an agreement that I would not sell the unit within 1 year."

Hmmm . . . me thinks there's more (or less?) to this story than you're telling.

Thank you for your comments.
Possibly I did not give the AX5 enough break in time.
I bought many Ayre products and for most part I was very satisfied:
Ayre QB9,V5XE(still have it) DX5 and finally Ax5(about 24k$total).
DX5 was very good with 2 channel audio but the blu-ray picture was average.
Both qb9 and dx5 have only USB input.
@ rufi I have nothing to hide.
For now I am using DCS Debussy as a preamplifier and DAC.
