Ayre v-5xe or parasound jc-1’s?


I see the v-5xes on a’gon for about $3k and the jc-1s for about $3.7k. Which would get and why? Plan to drive vandy quatros or 5s with them. thanks.

The Vandersteens with the Ayre V-5xe are wonderful! I've heard the Quatros, Quatro wood, and 5as with this amp and they sound great. If I ever own Vandersteens Ayre woud be the gear I would match it with. I owned the JC1s for a few years and they are good amps. But I think the only thing they have over the Ayre is the bass. With the built in subs on the Vandys this wont be an issue.
