Rotel RA-1570 to Ayre AX-7e


I've currently got an Rotel RA-1570 integrated in front of Vandersteen 2Ce Sig IIs and I'm debating purchase of a used Ayre Ax-7e vs waiting to save. Anyone have thoughts on what to expect? The room is 13 x 23. 
Thanks.

Thanks. So considering this brings up a question. 
I currently have speakers A&B with the Rotel. The A is my main and B is my kitchen. In there I have two 8 Ohm in wall speakers for each side (4 total). It's been a while but I'm pretty sure I wired them in parallel. 

I will check with Ayre but I doubt it would be a problem running the Vandys and others except for figuring out a termination since the AX-7e has single connect and the Vandersteens are bi-wired. 

Conversely, can I use the tape out as input another amp for driving the B speakers? Does turning on the tape out interrupt signal to amp side? It seems so since the manual talks about routing the recorder output to a specific pre-amp line input.Thanks

yage, thanks I have an old integrated to use as long as turning on tape out doesn’t interrupt the AX-7 output to main.

Can I put both spades under the speaker connection or would I have to re-terminate to have a single upstream spade?
