I suppose I could try both, because counterposed to what I understand is a zero feedback issue I suspect the LS50s would be well served by shunting frequencies below 100 Hz from them. db |

I'm close to doing the deed and getting the KX-5 Twenty.
Man, I love my K-5xeMP but keep going back to GregGale's and others' remarks about the not so subtle difference between the two preamps. I always try to take things with a grain of salt but have been left foolish each time I've upgraded. Sorry, I recall a post that said Ayre's prices have gone up but can't find it now. What's the current price for the KX-5 Twenty? Thanks. Last edited by will; 04-25-2017 at 02:30 PM. |

I was studying up on the Twenty myself...reading everything I could. Some people think the "Plain" KXR is better in their system than the Twenty. Why spend another 9-10K if you don't have to? I'd try to compare both before pulling the trigger. Might be the best 10K you ever saved.

Wasn't meant to be a joke. Ive got no skin in the game. Perhaps the Twenty's that were Demoed were brand spanking new and not broken in...as compared to the KXR that was already in their systems. Some of the comments may have come on this board. If I find them I will copy the comments here. Did you have the KXR before purchasing the Twenty?

The KX-R Twenty is not an upgrade, it's not "better", it's a completely different preamp that shames the original release. |
