Agreed. I can't touch the top screen of my VX-5 when it's operating. Pretty hot...

And yes the amp runs very warm, a good thing IMO. |

My MXR's run very hot when used....this surprised me as they claim Class AB operation..
Are you suggesting they may run even hotter after the diamond upgrade? |

Yes, likely so, and their power consumption will likely go up.

My VX-5 runs quite warm, but not class A hot. I can place my hand on top and leave it without concern. I have owned some Class A amps you could not leave your hands on the cooling fins for more than a second or so.

Is there anyone who has experience with both the old KX-R and the new KX-R Twenty who can comment on the sound?

I am interested in this too. Wasn't the only public showing at TIAS last month?

I suspect we'll see at least prototypes of the KX-R Twenty and MX-R Twenty next week at CES.
I'm unaware of any sightings of the KX-R Twenty "in the wild" as of yet, nor has the Ayre website been updated to show them or even mention them. |

Charlie Hansen has dropped some tidbits about the KX-R 20 in the AVS Forum DX-5 thread which has been running for years now. The most recent postings (last couple of pages) have some of his postings on the KX-R 20.
In the most recent posting, IIRC, he talks about the KX-R 20 with the VX-5 & DX-5 DSD.

What speakers do Ayre use in their system referred to above?
