You ended up with Ayre, what are your speakers?

Like many topics, I’m not asking for buying recommendations.  As an audiophile I’m genuinely curious if you are a current Ayre user, what speakers do you run with them, and how is the synergy?

I've always loved the sound, but never quite was able to swing that way, ending up with Luxman.  Those of you who have gone with Ayre, how are you using them?

 

Best,

I should have mentioned my best exposure to Ayre was during the Pono tour.  They did a little booth with Pono driving an Ayre stack and Paradigm speakers.  Sounded really really good.

Currently, AX 5 twenty with Joseph Perspective 2. Haven't found a speaker it can't drive, great sounding unit with somewhat dated ergonomics.

No Ayre amps yet, but I love my Codex DAC.

Bought Ayre k-5 se used for a while , the sound is airy and high sound is very strong. I am feeling good at first five minutes and I can not stand over 2 hours listening.

As you know, my standard is that you are listening continuously

8 hours and you still want to listen more,it becomes your selection.

In that point of view, I sold it later.
