This is the latest integrated amp
from Ayre, which incorporates all the new innovations such as the Diamond
output stage. If you read the Ayre AX-5 review in Stereophile, your already
aware that Art Dudley stated it was one of his three all time favorite solid
state amplifiers. This has 125watts per channel into 8 ohms, doubling
that into 4 ohms and will drive nearly any speaker, yes even Magnepans. This is
the best solid state amp I have heard, and a quantum leap from the Ax-7 and the
V5xe. It is superbly transparent, and mesmerizing to listen to with loads of
detail and musicality. It is the most natural sounding solid state amp
integrated I have heard. It took a $20,000 amp preamp package to unseat
this amp from my system, its that good. I purchased this AX-5 new from an
authorized dealer. The amplifier has only been in my humidity controlled smoke,
pet and wife free man cave. I can not find a flaw other a ripple in the mesh
grill (facing the front), look to the
rear of the far right top mesh panel, not a big deal but see photo, a couple of
dust particles lit up from the flash but the amp looks great. I always default
towards the conservative side in describing condition hence my 8/10 rating (see my feed back). Really, if you’re looking for an AX-5 this
is the right amp from the right seller.
I have all original factory packaging and the remote.
I may be willing to include hundreds of dollars of HiFi tuning fuses I purchased
just for this amplifier which did make a clear improvement. I will not pay freight
but will accept Pay Pal or a bank wire transfer. Ad 3% for Pay Pal. Contact Dave via the ad or phone
