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

NO!!! Take the JA Prisms over the 805D. Trust me on this. You’ll save $$$ and they’re flat-out better speakers in every way. I worked for Magnolia and have extensive experience with the 805 D3s and have also heard the Prisms and the JA speakers are just better on all levels despite being priced much lower.  I’m a long-suffering Rangers fan BTW and am rooting hard for Vegas in the finals because Florida doesn’t even deserve a hockey team IMHO.  Hockey is way too “woke” for Florida and their Pillsbury Doughboy Governor.  Oops.  Did I just say that out loud? My bad.

I’m settled on speakers but trying to figure out the amp, so go with the Dynaudio Heritage because I’m curious on how they’d pair with Ayer. Oh and because the Dyn’s are amazing. Also a suffering Rangers fan that lives in Florida so I feel your pain x2 Soix.
