BillK I am a bit confused. In your original post on 9/26, it sounds like you have not heard the KX-5, and are genuinely curious. But on 10-9 you give your opinion that the new KX-5 is not as good, with no post in-between these two saying that you had the opportunity to hear a KX-5. Do you own a KX-R? Was your listening at a dealer or in your home? Not flaming you, just trying understand as I am also considering a KX-5 for my VX-5.
Also, the LS-27 is an excellent preamp by any standard. I understand you prefer Ayre products, but others may want a taste of tubes in their sound without spending Ref5se money. The LS-27 is a fine choice.
