Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier


Any comments on the New Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier? I know its list price is $10,000. Does anyone have any impressions on this unit that was recently released?

Ctsooner, which pre-amp are you auditioning the vandersteens mono with?   Must be exciting!

 I have the AX5/20 and I love it.  Sounds awesome paired with my Vandersteen Treo CTs. 
now that Charlie is gone (RIP), but they have other great minds at Ayre and I know that they had a bunch of other projects that he was working on.
According to their newsletter, they will release something like 6 new products this year. I doubt they ever released that many even before Hansen's injury.
They have some cool things guys.  I can't say anything as I'm not sure anymore what they will release, but they were working on some crazy cool stuff.  nycjlee, I am talking to a few folks about making me either a Lightspeed volume control as the crossover is built in and I only have a digital input, or a remote relay volume control with only TOTL parts and a great box that will be shielded and the boards would be mounted on vibration control etc...  I'm speaking with a builder about this now.  It's teh only way I can afford the amps. lol
