Ayre Acoustics AX-7e Metal Remote MINT!

This is my third unit, I keep selling and buying it back over and over again. I have to let this go since I am truly downsizing and we have a new member in the family so my listening time will not there for the interim. This unit is in absolutely mint condition and was not used other than being stored away safely since it was part of a secondary system that actually never materialized.

The unit should be around 7 years old and mostly stored away. Not a single micro hairline scratch on it, like new assured. It also comes with the upgraded larger metal remote that is used for the KX-R Reference Preamp family which will was a costly option.

This unit will give you the best 60 watts into 8 ohms that you can ever imagine, even compared to the best tube pre powers combos out there!

“This beautifully made integrated has an amazing dimensionality, openness, image specificity, and transparency that rival much more expensive separates.”  The Absolute Sound

"The AX-7e is the best integrated I've ever heard," endorsed WP. "One heck of an involving amplifier," he summed up. Compared to the Luxman MQ-88 power amplifier, the Ayre offered greater bass extension and soundstage control but lacked the Luxman's beguiling midrange, said JM.
