It's all good. I got an AX-7e when I switched from tube separates for many reasons. I then heard the AX-5 and had to switch. The difference was huge for me. Then I did the immediate upgrade to the Twenty and it's a totally different amp/league than the non Twenty. Like most companies, the higher you go, the better you will get. I see so many folks buying expensive cables and isolation platforms so early in their build and not get nearly the payback than just upgrading their amp, source and or speakers for the same amount or even less at times. JMHO.
That said, the 7e will bring you enjoyment for many years to come. Honestly, you can now upgrade the speakers and source well before the amp I'm sure and hear the difference. That's a nice place to be in your build. Congrats.
