heard those speakers with a VAC avatar in a large room, and they rocked, VAC was set to ultrlinar, at time could not afford 500's, ended up buying VAC avatar se, and sonus faber cremona's, you don't need alot of power for the 500's VAC was rated at 60 watts, the room was really large, had GEN 1's in it also with 500's
Amp for Genesis 500's?
I've been using an ARC VT100 MKIII with my Genesis 500 loudspeakers since 2001. I am going to try something different and was thinking of looking for an Ayre V3 or perhaps a BAT amp, tubed or solid state. The ARC was a great match with the speakers; what in your opinion would also match well? Is it really best to stick with a tube amp? Because these speakers have their own bass servo amp I don't need gobs of power.
