Ayre with Wilson

Thanks guys! I heard Ayre 5 series 20s separates with Rockports and they were using the new Audioquest Fire xlr-Sounded spectacular. I actually have a pair of Wireworld Eclipse 7 xlr so I may go the Wireworld route first and see how that works and when i have enough money buy some Audioquest Fires.

I assume you are talking the VX and KX-5 Twenty's? I heard the mono twenty's and was blown away. I need to get down to Audio Connection soon to hear the VX-5 Twenty. I am sure it's killer. I can't state enough what the Twenty did to the AX-5. I'm sure you liked the AQ with the Ayre. They are so neutral, you get all that the Ayre is giving to you.

Ctsooner,

Yes, I could not agree more. Ayre, I thought, always had a nice sound in the top end, but leaved something to be desired in the low end. When I listened to the new AX-5 Twenty the first time, my previous impression of Ayre equipment changed completely. I was thoroughly impressed--No lack of bass there and seemed to have lots of current on reserve. After going back and forth on Ayre and other manufacturers, I then decided to save up a little more money and go with the VX and KX Twenty's instead. This will allow me a little more flexibility in the future plus give me more wattage if needed.

BTW - I compared these to Constellation Inspiration Product on S5 Magicos, which was truly an awesome system as well. Extremely transparent. TOUGH CHOICE. At the end of the day I just loved the Ayre sound and felt it would fit my Wilsons better.

Give Brian Berdan (Brooks' son) a call at his new shop in Pasadena, Audio Elements. He is both an Ayre and Wilson dealer, and has lots of experience setting up systems with that pairing.

Transparent will be a very natural and sonic match for Ayre + Wilson speakers. Go for the Reference XL or OPUS cabling.
Yes, it will cost you. Yes, will will never look back w/ regret. As always, buy used / demo and put the savings back in your pocket. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
