I haven't owned either component you mention, however I am quite familiar with the AR tube amps and have owned a few Meadowlarks and still do- I would imagine that would be a quite musical combination.
Audio Research and Meadowlark?
Does anyone have experience with combining Audio Research components with Meadowlark speakers? Specifically, I have bought Shearwater Hot Rods, and wonder whether the VS55i
might be a winning amp. Music choices far-ranging, from small chamber and voice to jazz, rock, opera. Room approx 17 x 21,
cathedral ceiling to about 13 feet, with alcove about 9 x 10 . Would
a larger amp/preamp combo be a significant improvement in this
setting? It is hard to test these components together, so I would
appreciate any feedback, as I am building a system from scratch,
have always loved AR sound. Thanks
