If still looking you'd be nuts not to get the Ayre AX7e if you can afford it. Get it used if you need to. I am saving for the Treo's and am using it in my system with my ProAc Supertowers that I am selling (just haven't listed yet) and it's magic with the MIT CVT MH 770 (highest MIT cable) and also for sale, lol. It's better than my Quicksilver silver mono's and full pre rewired with MIT wire to open the sound and improve the bass (both also for sale, lmao...lot's of stuff about to leave the house).
Honestly, the Ayre is just perfect and very tube like with the best of both worlds and it drives anything well. Much more powerful than it's 60w rating. Doubles all the way to 2ohms folks. That's rare and it has no feedback. Sorry but I LOVE it as does everyone who's hearing it. Almost made me keep the Proacs, but I want the Vandy's badly for many reasons. My loss is someone's gain,right?
