I've owned several products from Ayre and CJ. Vandersteen is my favourite speaker, as well. I love all 3 brands but if I had to choose between Ayre or CJ for Vandersteen's it would definitely be Ayre. (Actually, I've already made the choice. I use Ayre/Vandersteen myself.). I don't have a lot of time right now to type but I will say that there is incredible synergy with the combo. If you have any specific questions, just post them and I'll try to answer them for you as best I can.
