My music ranges from Jazz/Blues through to Rock.

Over the past few weeks across 3 different cities, I've had the opportunity to listen to the below gear which was initially compiled based on other threads recommendations. Unfortunately none electronics were matched with the Wilson Sasha or any Wilson speaker for that matter.

I enjoyed all of the electronics, and would like to own them all.

1. Audio Research Ref5se with Ref75se or Ref150se
2. Ayre KX5 and VX5
3. Pass Labs XP20 with XA60.8 or XA100.8
4. Esoteric C02x with Classe M600

I won't be in a position to change the speakers/electronics again for another 3-4 years (WAF) so don't want to choose the wrong gear.

I know it's down to the individuals preference, but is there any one combination that really stands out as the better option to select?

Thanks
ARC Ref5se and Ref150se would be a commonly seen pairing with Wilson Audio. My personal preference would be BAT gear, which I think is heavenly matched with Wilson.

Edit: Just noticed you are in Australia. I do not know if Balanced Audio Technology gear is even available there. Sorry for the digression.
