Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe


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

While I think V-5xe is great, I am thinking of upgrading to the newer VX-5 Twenty. Just because.... I hear my sirens calling :-)


For you Ayre owners, is this a worthy upgrade?

Or should I consider another solid state Amp? Pass Labs come to mind

Thanks!

i was messing w a buddy of mine, there is no such thing as a SOTA Eico amp.....but he has a highly modified one that sounds fantastic w Revel speakers....
A VX-5 Twenty  just has been listed for sale with a nice discount.

One of the reasons Ayre made quick  update ( twenty version) of his diamond output amps, is because they had trouble with overheating. The 20 versions runs cooler.

More and more of those popping on the used market, I guess they are not as peformant as the review says. Users must be upgrading for the better VX-R series. Or something Luxman, Gryphon, etc.
