Best Speakers to match Ayre V-1xe and K-1xe

Yes. I'm about to move in to Vinyl as we speak. If you know is a VPI Scoutmaster a good table to try? I thought the Sapphires are more than the C-4's? Keeping the wife happy is not draining the bank account to feed my heroin/stereo equipment addiction.

I think the VPI Scoutmaster is an excellent table to try - it's obviously a very popular line, there is a lot of support for it, and it is widely reviewed positively.

The Sapphires are less, retail, than the C4's, but the C4's are available used for under $10K and the only way to get the Sapphires at this point is to pay their retail price of $16.5K. It's a great litmus test for the significant other, though - they currently cost more to obtain, but they are a far better looking speaker for the domestic environment. I like the looks of the C4, but it is very large.

Thanks Kthomas! Happy listening.

You may also want to consider Sonus Faber speakers. They sound great with Ayre gears. Currently have the MX-R driving SF Memento and they sound excellent. Have also demoed V1xe driving SF speakers, they also match well. Wife acceptance factor is also great as these speakers look very nice.

Hello, I've bought an Ayre V-1x and an Ayre K-3x with phono stage. I use them with my Clements RT7 Reference and I can listen a very naturally sound, great front-stage, and particulary in details. I've also a pair of Avalon Monitor that I usually use in alternative with Clements.
My impression is that it play like a wall speacker, with an impressionant mid-low speaker.
