I think I'm in love with the VAC Phi Beta. It is quite the stunning piece.
And that was before I saw the favorable comparisons with Halle Berry over at sixmoons.
I've heard other VAC amps recently and was similarly impressed.
Can somebody tell me how well the Phi Beta might fare driving a pair of Ohm Walsh 5s? These present a somewhat challenging load and love to suck amps and power from SS amps normally.
I notice the PB is rated at same power output into 2, 4 and 8 ohms, which sounds promising. Could damping factor be an issue?
Thanks.
