About the V-5xe

It provides enormous power reserves for dynamic contrast, precise soundstaging, and absolute stability with any loudspeaker load. Equipped with Ayre Conditioner RFI filter, sophisticated DC protection, and remote trigger operation. Inputs include balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA with XLR pass-through for bi-amping or subwoofers. Cardas speaker terminals require spade terminations. Praised for rich midrange, clean highs, controlled bass, and non-fatiguing presentation. Discontinued around 2017.
