Rumors about a new Ayre integrated amplifier?

There's a certain aficianado type web site that leaked photos of a prototype for the new Ayre integrated. This rumor pegs it as a AX-5 100 watt. I first saw it last night and an employee replied very angrily that the photo was somehow leaked because they can't answer questions about it yet because it hasn't been blessed for release. Actual round volume pots. Looks very nice.

My AX-5'a arrived today. Richer sound with greater transparency through my Thiel CS-3.7'a. Absolutely stunning. Worth trading up from K-5xemp and V-5xe. Highly recommend you give it an audition, but to hear it you need a really transparent speaker.

Amazme1, I'm very envious! I'm trying to figure out how to pay for an AX-5. Your Thiels are great speakers. You must be getting excellent sound!
