I am still blown away by my little AX7e integrated so I cannot imagine how good the AX5 twenty must be.
I have the 7e since more than one year and use it with hard to drive speakers : the Rega RS10.
The Ayre AX7e drives them at least as good as the Rega Osiris mighty 200W amp that was made for them and that costs much more. But the Ayre has this liquid and tubey sound which is incredible. Extremely natural and super quiet with balanced inputs. Looking at the inside I just cannot figure out how they do this.
Ayre is stunning.
