The Ayre KX-5 preamp was derived from the preamp section of AX-5 integrated amp, which itself was derived from the KX-R. It has the same VGT variable gain stage as Ayre's top preamp and Ayre's Diamond output stage. It was shown in pre-production form, so pricing was not set, but it should be around $8000.
