The VK500 is a great amp. Even though the Ayre should be the best match for synergy, the BAT should mate very well with your current setup. I can't imagine you not getting good results with it in your system. Its also a very unique amp. Its actually 2 mono amps in one box. I don't know of any other amp that is designed like that.
If you don't mind, can you post what you think of it once you have had a chance to listen to it. I'm interested on how it compares to your Emotiva.
