In Reply to: New Ayre amp at CES 2011: VX-R stereo amp posted by jax4736 on January 9, 2011 at 19:57:11:
The Ayre VX-R is certainly a very nice looking amp with outstanding casework but there are plenty of great amps available for ~$15K, and much less.
There's obviously huge cost in the premium chassis work, as there is in other Colorado based audio products from companies like Boulder and Jeff Rowland.
I wonder what makes this Ayre so special (and so pricey)?
