((((You may be totally right on Ayre JohnnyR, but for the speakers, have you heard them?)))
I like your speakers and think Revels are as good as any conventional out there. I'm just trying for you to see the logic in design matching all the way through with Ayre that you already 2/3 own
I also love Aesthetix gear as Tomic does above great zero feedback Hybrid amp but I would match it with an Aesthetix Preamp for its best operation.
Matching all the way through gain drive tonal balance etc IME gets you through as a solution with Electronics/Speakers working together.
Your Ayre QX5/20 Dac, K1 Pre and a pre-owned VX 5/20 with your speakers will be on another level than with your current amp in the areas of drive, textures, and palpability.
What most here may not be aware of that making a change for the sake of change once the excitement wears off compared to even what you have
now may be a loss in a specific area smearing where magic was once before.
