Thiel Owners

I second thieliste - Ayre matches quite well with Thiel.  My local dealer always paired his Thiel 3.7s with an all-Ayre setup and it sounded fantastic.  I too have many Ayre components in my system, including a recent change from my Cary SLP-05 to the Ayre KX5 twenty preamp.  My 3.7s have never sounded better.  

Been awhile since I opened this thread. Looks like I have a lot to catch up on!

Musical - is the key word that defines Ayre gear. And this is not a bad thing at all. Stay safe out there.

Happy Listening!

Good to see you again. Yes, it has been awhile since I have seen a post by you.  Impressive that you switched away from the Cary SLP-05. That particular pre-amp is one of the very best, very popular amongst Audiophiles.  While I have never heard the SLP05, I can certainly understand your change to the Ayre Twenty Series- seriously good gear.
What other gear including rounds out your system currently?

Hope that you are well and preparing for Summer.

Happy Listening!

Hey jafant. Still running much of the same gear. Accuphase A50 for amplification, Ayre P5xe phono pre, and a VPI Aries/Ayre qb9 on the front end. Upgraded the Aries with a new fatboy tonearm and an Airtight PC7. It works for me :)

Thank You for the update.  How do you like the synergy between Accuphase and Ayre?  

Happy Listening!
