Doug said: The VX-5 is an extremely accomplished-sounding power amplifier that I could easily listen to and live with as my personal reference for a long, long time, without ever feeling in the slightest shortchanged. For many -- even those expecting to spend a lot more -- it may be the perfect amplifier.
Read the SoundStage! Hi-Fi review.
The gist: Ayre’s entry level might just be your reference level.
