Ayre man, Ayre! :)
Love my Luxman 509, but if ever there was an amp I might afford to trade to it would be Ayre or D’Agostino, the latter sounding much more like the Luxman that it is hard for me to pull the coin out for.
Ayre, like Pass, in my mind are counter points. That is, they are significantly different enough that I think if you audition Luxman, Ayre and Pass you'll come away with a strong preference.
