((((First time I’ve actually had a twinge of regret owning the Ayre. Love the sound, but what's up with that)))
The Ayre is Awesome you are only able to move a little bass in a small design speaker.
Lifestyle speaker systems Sat/Woof have their place are popular, but not rarely special.
Vandy and Ayre are very sophisticated and specifically designed to be a Form following function designed system firstly.
This means performance is the main design agenda first. Specialty audio has its meaning is that few people care.
Of course, you can follow whats popularly or if you want something special stay open-minded and realize the Advantage why Ayre does its Balance differential zero feedback design and borrow a pair of Vandy 1Cis and engage your own opinion of what Bill Evens or Ray Brown should sound like.
I predict at that moment you will then see how special the Ayre truly is.
