purchasing used Ayre V-5xe? good purchase?

Hi All,

I have an opportunity to purchase one of these for around 2k USD, around 15 years old

currently using an anthem mca 225 gen 2 which puts out 400w at 4ohm and 600 at 2oh

I had the AX7e integrated and loved it but found that it's 120w was just not quite enough

worth trying this amp?

also, anybody know if the v-5xe is 2ohm capable?

thanks in advance

The Ayre people are excellent and service all their stuff to brand new specs. Be sure to use your new Ayre with balanced connections ...makes a difference. I have all differentially balanced throughout...even the phono is xlr connected.
