More detail, better separation and of course another 150w.

Moving my KX5 and VX5 onto a new home in due course and will likely upgrade to twenty series along the way.

Thanks for all the feedback and info
Those are awesome pieces. Would love to see pictures of this setup. Do you happen to know what the US retail pricing of the VX-R20 is?

Ok cool thanks. Still trying to find out what the retail for this is in the US. The low height of this, makes it a very good option for the spot I need to fit my amp in.

Thanks, that's the VX5-20, which now goes for $9950. I was looking at the VXR-20, found out yesterday its actually $24,000 US. Little over my budget. I may listen to the VX5-20 now though.

The form factor of the VX-5 Twenty is the equivalent of a Corolla. Relatively compact and not hard to move around.

That's what I'm looking for, something that could fit in my existing single rack's amplifier spot if possible. Trying to avoid going double wide or having to raise my TV and patch and paint the wall.

Eye test says it's nearly identical to your nad M22.

Yeah they're extremely close, would both fit in about the same rack spacing.

Why not download the manual from Ayre and read the specs?
