I hope all of the above helps. Ayre customer service is excellent and I suggest you call them for more information, as needed.

Hgeifman,
Thanks for all the info. I'm not from USA so it is not possible for me to call ayre directly. I tried to email them but can't find any email address on their site. Anyone has ayre email that they can share with me?

Thanks in advance.

All evolution models have the word "evolution" written in gold lettering under the Ayre logo on the front panel. That is the foolproof way of knowing which model you have.

If you are still uncertain, the first letter of the serial number indicates the production version of the amp, so if you call Ayre and give them your serial number, they can confirm to you what you have.

Wyred : Unfortunately, Ayre Acoustics does not list an email address on their web site. They prefer to use the phone for customer service. I suggest you call them at 1.303.442.7300 x223. See

If you cannot call Ayre Acoustics, you could mail them and ask your question. I am a little confused since both Countingbackwards and I have explained how to identify an "evolution" model of the Ayre AX-7e. In my opinion, if you are going to buy the AX-7 amp, you should buy the "evolution" AX-7e model since it is much better sounding than the older AX-7 version.

As noted above, all evolution AX-7e models have the word "evolution" written in gold lettering under the Ayre logo on the front front panel. I checked my AX-7e and it does have the words "evolution " on the left front side of the amplifier as described above by Countingbackwards.
