After I had my VX-5 upgraded to the Twenty, I found that when I got it back from Ayre, it sounded much better and on par with my ARC Ref 75, but provided a good deal more bass and slam to my Sonus Faber speakers than the Audio Research amp. The combination of my Ayre VX-5 with my ARC Reference 6 preamp is sublime.

Not the twenty version, the original model.
I will upgrade to MX-R Twentys over the next 12 months, so wont bother with a twenty upgrade on my VX5. I suspect MX-R's with my Ref 3 will be damn near perfect.
