BAT, ARC, VAC, Shindo?

Room size and listening habbits might be helpful. There are endless possibilities with the Silverbacks.

BTW... Check out wrp's system called "2 Channel + Home Theater + Multi-Zone" for the possibilites with integrating Shindo and hometheater (w a pair of Silverbacks).

I have never heard these combinations (so take this for what it's worth) but my suspicion is that the Bat and Arc pairing with the Silverback is that it might be a little on the dry side.

There is a Silverback dealer in Atlanta (Steve at Playhouse Audio- [email protected] 404-373-4279) that uses a BAT pre and a SS amp as his referance. Might be worth contacting.

Do you have a sub? A good sub might be fun to try. You could take a little load off the VAC and give it a little more headroom for those high spl nights.

What's the price on the Corton-Charlamagne's? From the name I would guess the price of an old Porche. I think I remember reading somewhere that DeVore said his favorite Shindo amp was the Cortese.
