Ayre MX-R vs Lamm M2.2 Opinions

I'm in the market of upgrading to a high end amp and would interested to getting members opinions on comparing the Lamm M2.2 to the new Ayre monoblocks. Has anybody been able to do an A/B listening comparision or have experience with either?

Cvman, I auditioned the Ayre Mx-R monoblocks and found them ok, but somewhat "dry" to my ear's. If you go to past threads on this subject you will get more information and polite disagreements regarding the sonic virtues of the Ayre's.

So, out of this two amps I like the Lamm M2.2 better then the MX-R's, they for me were more musical and real sounding then the Ayre's.

You should also consider Cary CAD-500MB monos. I traded my Lamm M1.2 Reference monos for them. At 7000$ the Carys are a steal.

Not sure how anyone could call the Ayre Mono blocks dry...I have been listening to them since August...
