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,

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.

 

I have an Ayre  k1xe  pre  connected  to Mark levinson 33h  monoblocks drive harbeth shl5 speakers. Heaven! 

AYRE AX-5 (Twenty) with Thiel Audio. In comparison with a Luxman, the later will add a measure of warmth characteristic in Japanese electronics. Another way to describe the presentation and sound is Golden. One cannot go wrong either way.

 

Happy Listening!

I’ve deployed  Ayre AX-5 TWENTY, Ayre QB-9 TWENTY,

with Cerious loom.  Driving a pair of Paradigm Persona 3F’s.

Surprising synergy, presence.
