Ayre Acoustics of Boulder Colorado are among the finest, most innovative audio companies on the planet. The owner and designer, Charles Hansen, is indeed gifted in his design genius. The entire Ayre Family is a great bunch of people. Steve Silberman, the sales manager, is a wealth of knowledge and always very helpful.

In the last few years, they have had product after product be universally hailed as the finest available. It all started with the Original K1 preamp, with its incredible volume control system. The MXR mono block amplifiers, along with the matching KXR preamp, are in a league of their own. Recently the QB-9 dac rocked the computer audio world..we love it..come and hear it. Below is a photo of a very nice system we put together for a client...that is SME 20 and Sonus Faber Amati Homage anniversario speakers with the Ayre K-XR preamp and Ayre M-XR mono block amps. Also featured is the Ayre C-5xe [just updated to MP status] and the great Ayre P-5xe phono preamp. All Ayre signature interconnects complete the system.
