Cellindo,
The MXR's sound better warmed up, and with active shielding cables.
I was about to give up on them after 1st demo, and then they sounded...sweet and kicked butt!

Hi WILSON AUDIO fans.

I'm very close to pull the trigger for a 2n hand pair of AYRE MX-R to drive my SASHA speakers.
AYRE being very rare here in France my exposure to this brand has been quite limited and I will have no chance to try these amps in my system before I pay for them...

My system consists of a dCS Puccini CD player (I would say quite the same sound familly as AYRE, if not even more detailled but always very natural and 'well integrated' details). The preamplifier is a SHINDO Monbrison, so very different from an AYRE one. I had the chance to try an AYRE K5-xeMP and found it definitiely enjoyable in my system. That's why I think AYRE's house sound could suit me pretty well.

I also had a nice demo of AYRE equipments in the past: AYRE CD/DAC source + KX-R + Momentum on Avalon speakers and this was absolutely GREAT!!! However the amps were not from AYRE that day...

The seller made a demo with a full AYRE system (CD + KX-R + MX-R and cables too) on his KHARMA speakers. This was okay to even nice but not thrilling as well, at least with a cold start of the electronics. Maybe it needs many more hours of warming-up / standby before giving a valid comment.

Please help me sharing your educated thoughts on the MX-R. Thanks a lot guys

Cellindo,

Congrats on the Sashas!

I mentioned in another thread that I ended up going for the Ayre KX-R/D.D. Momentum monoblocks to drive my Sashas, however, if my budget didn't allow me to go for this combo, then I'ed still be perfectly happy to live with the Ayre KX-R/MX-R combo driving my Sashas - still a very captivating combo!

That being said, all my demos were using Transparent Ref. XL cabling throughout.

A Karan KAS 600 is going to land soon in my living room for a home demo on the Sasha.
My intuition tells me it's going to be something remarkable. I already had a flavor of the quality sound offered by this big beast on a different occasion with JBL K2 speakers.
