Ayre and McCormack ... a good match?

I've got a pair of McCormack DNA-0.5 monoblocks, modified by SMC Audio. Any thoughts about how an Ayre preamp -- I'm thinking of the K-5xe -- might work with these babys? From what I can gather, the input/output impedances would be a match. And I might be interested in trying balanced interconnects, which this combo would allow. (I'm currently using a McCormack TLC-1 -- also heavily modded by SMC, (utilizing the buffered outputs) -- but I keep on getting the itch to go active. Might Ayre be the answer? Thanks for any, um, input any of you might have into this matter.

You are correct Mitch2, that was a shameless plug. It would have been best if you had contacted Hodu offline and present your sales proposition in private rather than using the public forums. These forums are supposed to be for advice only, not as a sales tool. Personally, I refrain from responding to a thread asking me about a unit that I am currently selling. Though I have been known to contact the interested party offline with an opinion, and with any sales information.
That's just my $0.02.

Regards,
John

Entrope,

Tim put a link to his own for sale ad in the public forums, how could you have missed that? That's a no no in a public forum, and Tim was man enough to see that, to his credit.
It's good to see that the Atma-Sphere club has his back though. I may buy the Atma-Sphere with that kind of product support. :)
