Feedback on new Ayre MX-R Monoblocks

I just heard the Mx-R monblocks at a dealer, where I purchased my 5-series components. The system was spectacular in every way. It's hard to characterize good sound as warm or cool or any other terms we normally use to describe hi-fi ... just perfect and real.

The final sound is always determined by perfectly matching components. I've found in the context of my modest system, simple things like using the Ayre wood blocks all around and taking time to match the cables have resulted in a new level of appreciation.

This is a photo of my Ayre system on Virtual Dynamics' website. I am using all Virtual Dynamics cable, interconnects and power cords, have upgraded everthing to a couple of Revelation power cords on CD and preamp, and Master LE on everything else. Wonderful cable and power cords for Ayre equipment. I have never heard better!

This thread is a perfect example to why a potential buyer must insist on a home demo. Home demos are one of the major services that local dealers can provide and why we should support local dealers when possible. Look at how many were happy with the MX-R's in thier system.

Commenting that this or that maybe very useful on total losers (products) but not very really productive on good product that may be good system matches. Certainly the Ayre MX-R's deserves a home trial for those that are interested in the them. It's sensible when ever possible. my 0.002.

Amen, Gerrym5. You gave the best summary of this situation.

I just want to add that I am also a very happy MX-R owner. I auditioned McIntosh 501, ARC Ref-210 and Ayre MX-R and on my ML Summits the Ayre was a keeper. All these amps are excellent. Just a matter of system matching and individual taste......Have fun....Enjoy the music....Steve
