In Reply to: RE: Ayre AX-5 - What is the "twenty" version ? posted by AbeCollins on May 10, 2015 at 07:13:49
With the price increases and all, I wonder what the MSRP is on the model Ayre AX-5 Twenty.
I ask because I'm pretty impressed with my recently acquired AX-7e which is one of the very few solid-state integrated amps that I actually enjoy as much as my tube integrated.
Follow Ups:
I've been told by my dealer that the new MSRP is $13,000.00.
Interestingly, I borrowed the dealer's AX-7e demo while my AX-5 was back at Ayre getting the update. While I couldn't do a head-to-head comparison, I think the AX-7e shares a lot of the same qualities of the AX-5 Twenty. There are three key differences in favor of the AX-5 Twenty, IMO:
- The bass is fuller, with better drive
- It throws a bigger soundstage
- More resolving without affecting tonal balance
Still, I found the AX-7e to be very satisfying overall - it's a very fine integrated.
