Ayre Accoustics

The model uses Volume control technology — Variable Gain Transconductance (VGT), the same as in the top-end KX-R amplifier, but in a simplified and cheaper version.

The KX-5 Twenty preamp delivers the sound quality and flexibility you can expect from Ayre products. As the successor to the KX-R preamp, the Ayre KX-5 Twenty meets expectations in terms of sound dynamics thanks to the Ayre Diamond output stage.

The detail and clarity of the KX-R Twenty's sound are the result of hundreds of hours of audio tests that allowed us to select the best elements for each important part of the audio track. Finally, following their own rule that everything is important in the design and scheme, the developers conducted a thorough study of every detail of the signal path — the tracing of the circuits and even the orientation of the elements.
