For sale is the Stereophile Class A rated Ayre V-5xe power amplifier. (This has always been a V-5xe - it was not an older version that was upgraded.) I'm the original owner, the unit has always been in my smoke free home. The amp is in excellent condition with no scratches or flaws. Reason for selling is that I've upgraded to a VX-5 and then MX-R Monos.

Comes with the original Ayre packaging, manual, and power cord.
