What Does Ayre Sound Like?

Ayre is good sounding and would mesh better with the harbeth but would have too lean of a sound for the proac because the ayre sound is detailed with a lightweight lean bass. Think of the sound as airy and lightweight, but natural and non fatiguing.

I have the ayre ex-8 and love it.  I got my ex-8 upgraded to 2.0 and since that upgrade I do not feel that the base is lean anymore (but did feel that it was lean before the upgrade).

Take a listen to Lejonklou Baozu (sp)  INT 40wpc, $4k.
As black as you ever hear. 
Not sure if 40wpc will do the 30.2s
but they do make monos.
