Didn’t you say on your other post that you have the Harbeth HL5Plus? Did you sell them?
speaker recommendations for Ayre V-5xe?
Hi All,
I recently picked up this amp used and have a Lumin T2 connected direct
I'd like to try a couple of standmount speakers in the 5-10k price range that would be considered an ideal match for the amp to really see what it can do
open to all ideas, was thinking Dynaudio heritage specials, the new Fritz Purifi model, Bowers 805d4
will likely get the Ascend Sierra-2EX v2 to start as it is relatively inexpensive and then go from there
really seeking a specific model if possible that is known to have synerygy with this amp
thanks in advance

Forget the Ascend Sierras and just buy these. You may well never feel the need to upgrade, and JA speakers sound sublime with Ayre electronics. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb4gff-joseph-audio-monitors-monitors |
yes Harbeth's 30.2XD's and The superHL5plus XDs tried and sold they were very nice, I have some mild criticisms better suited to a harbeth discussion, let's just say not my cup of tea those JA look very nice the Ascend's pricepoint allows me to try and buy regardless as a stop gap, custom seas driver, raal ribbon, and Klippel measurements, appears to be a level of actual R&D and published measurements beyond alot of the smaller independant companies

Ayre and Vandy's are a great match. In your budget, a pair of Treo's or Quatro's used, would be great choices. As Joey pointed out John Rutan (Audioconnection) would be a very good source for information, as he is very familiar with many brands (and, not just the one's he sells). He is on Audiogon and Audioconnection is his tag. Otherwise, call him. I can tell you, honestly, that he is not like most dealers and won't try to sell you something- only provide the best/honest information. And, if you doubt me, just do a search here on Audiogon.
