Go hear the new ARC VTM-200s. They are better (and 4K more costly) than the VT200, but I think they sound better. I heard the VTM-200s / LS-25MKII / Linn CD-12 on the Avalon Eidolons recently, and had a hard time leaving the room... I was blown away!!!
Amps for Avalon Radian HCs
I currently own the Avalon, Spectral with DMA 150 amp, MIT EVO Shotgun interconnects and cables and am looking for an amp that will be warmer, more dynamic, more layered and with better depth. I am considering the Joule Electra Grand Marquis IV, ARC 200, REF 300, Jadis 800 or any other amps that give me just a little more magic. I've also considered keeping my electronics and buying Eidolons. One person has mentioned the Specraweld 100w OTLs from France but I have never heard of this company. I'd love to hear from folks about what you've heard that has blown you away. Thanks.
