Can't help it, I'm still an Ayre fanboy [emoji3].

I wish Ayre would release a lower priced monoblock model, maybe something based on the VX-5 Twenty platform.

Would buy it w/o thinking twice.

I added the AX 5 Twenty earlier this year. Great mids and highs, but not enough oomph to create detail in the low end on my B&W 803D2s. 125 w/c is 125 w/c. Poor choice in hindsight to attempt to use this in my main system. It'll be replaced by PASS INT-250 or Vitus RI-100, then off to drive Dynaudio Focus 160s in the home office.

Of course you are right, 125 wpc is not very much for a main system.

But in a secondary system the quality is great.
