I've got the v-5x powering Revel Studios. I'm relatively new to this hobby but have demoed it against Plinius and Conrad Johnson equipment and my ears drove me to choose the Ayre. The Revels are a power hungry speaker and I crank them with no loss of definition. I've never heard the 431, but I'm sure someone on here knows all about it. Good luck in your search.
Mark Levinson 431 or Ayre V-5X?
Does anybody have any experience comparing the two amplifiers? My speakers are B&W Silver Signature 25. I have narrowed by choice down to these two, so if we could keep the discussion focused here that would be great. I would also mate the amps with the appropriate pre amp (either the K-1X or the 380s).
Thanks for the help!
