Ayre Acoustics AX-5 Twenty

Call Mike at Ayre...he knows everything about this stuff

I heard the Octave amp you are referring to with the Dynaudio C20’s and C30’s, and it was very impressive. I too am looking at the Ayre VX5 Twenty to drive a pair of Contour 60’s. I’m just not sure about the amount of power, although the Dyns are 4 ohms and the VX 5 doubles to 350 per channel at 4

Unless your speakers hang out in sub-2ohm territory power isn't a concern with that Ayre amp. 

Keep us posted on your demo-  danimaz
Happy Listening!

I agree on the VX-5 twenty.   Mine has driven Wilson Sophia 2s and Focal Sopra 3 without any issues.   The VX seems to have lots of current on reserve.
