New Ayre MX-4 stereo power amp and new integrated

Hvu: I would love to see a BIG Ayre integrated at least at the performance level of K-1xe + V-5xe. As the Boulder 865 wasn´t released right on time I´ve bought K-1xe and V-5xe (again) and I´m very happy with the gear as it matches well with the C-5xe I´m currently using.

Nevertheless I´ll switch to Boulder 865 sooner or later as I like the idea of a limited amount of gear and cables and I find the other offerings ML 383, JRDG Concerto, Gryphon Diabolo, etc. quite booring.

Charles: probably you should think about a high performance integrated in the price range US $ 7.000,00 - 9.000,00 as your competition (Pass, Boulder (forthcoming), Gryphon, ML, Burmester) has got nice offerings in this area.

I agree that ayre cables seem to be a very good match for their equipment...and I am particularly pleased with the new speaker cables for the mono blocks...

John

will there also be a new reference phono stage to match at some point?

Charles:

should you go through this thread.. Is it possible to remove the umbilical of the K-1xe and to substitute it with a very high performance power cord ? Effects ?

Charles Hansen..: I´ve found the passage which showed the "Ayre MX-4 power amps". It was in the CES 2007 Showreport of the Positive Feedback Journal, Issue 29, Page 3, Part 4.
A real pitty .. I´d loved to have a nicely shaped stereo amp looking like the MR-X´s to substitute my current Ayre stereo power amp.
