CES & THE Show 2011 Hot Product
The Ayre VX-R ($14,950) uses the same
circuitry, output devices, and circuit-board and chassis materials as the MX-R monoblocks,
but its power output is one-third less at 200Wpc.
The people at Ayre admit that the VX-R and
MX-Rs sound virtually identical, and the stereo amp is about the same size as a pair of
the monoblocks. Why then create the VX-R? "Some people just want a stereo amp,"
was their reasoning. |
