i have one of these and it is a great sounding amp even if it weighs 100 lbs :'(

if you only do 2 channel you can use the third channel board as backup or you can make this a 6 channel amp ($1200 per extra channel drop in boards).

https://www.ayre.com/v6xe.htm
his ad is a little confusing as he says evolution v6x. i have the v6xe which is the evolution upgrade which is their top model.
asked him to clarify in his post. either way this is a great amp.

ok, this is the v6x not the v6xe.

    While I have no doubt it is a fine amp, given my recent experience, I am done with any electronics with “Evolution” in the name...

    given recent news from Austin, not sure that's a good thing.
    maybe get a friend to open the box for you when it arrives...

    Does that mean it's not intelligently designed?


    oy, vey... I apologize for both of those bon mots (or is that bons mot?)
