Charles Hansen died earlier this year, but as he had predicted the Ayre preamp and amp gave me much of the sound I enjoyed with 20-watt Cary CD 572 SE monoblocks without the PITA tubes. The setup with the LS50s is all Ayre, a C-5xeMP disc player, QX-5 Twenty digital hub that gets files from Roon via ethernet, the KX-5 Twenty preamp, and VX-5 Twenty amp. But I think I am going to try high-passing to the LS50s with the 10B. Do you have any recommendations about settings?
