Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe

I am leaning more and more towards BHK 250. @carlco great 👍 write up, much appreciated. I am more of a solid state guy, but I think the BHK 250 would be a good “hybrid” amp with the best of both worlds. I used to own the PS Audio M700s briefly for a couple of months, but the 250 is a different animal 

It’s either the BHK 250 now, or the VX-5 Twenty. Based on what I have read and talked to people I know and trust, I have eliminated X150.8 and Plinius SA-103

Ayre is not a warm product 
look at Jeff Rowland or Pass.
Rutan pushes Vandys because 
they are really rich/warm speakers 
and can be boring after a while 

Just curious if anyone had heard the SimAudio Neo 400M monoblocks?
I am also looking to upgrade my amps.

FWIW the Aesthetix Atlas is a hybrid design also.

OP
(((I am loving the Ayre sound (V-5xe Amp, QX-5 Twenty DAC / streamer). My speakers are the new Revel F228be)))

 Have you ever even heard a full Ayre stack with Revels
 from the comments, above, his existing equipment with The VX5/20 which is a pretty sophisticated amp with many speakers and carries a zero feedback design philosophy all the way through.

 I have heard the Pass, PS audio, JRDG all fine gear but I know for sure in his system VX5/20 will be an advancement. Aren't you only speculating?
