BAT + VR 4 JR = ?


OK. I am way too aware fo the subjectivity associated with Audio gear. really.... I am simply looking to get pointed into a certain direction. Sort of add to my options as it were....

I got a BAT VK5i, and BAT VK 500 W/BP. . .and very soon, likely a pair of VSA VR 4JR.... and am now looking for speaker wire info that may best suit that match... OR the question would deem to be, "Does it matter most about the amp, or speaker, which way onoe goes in getting that hook up?

I reckon there are enough JR OWNERS taht can clue me in a bit here...

oh, and price is, as always, an issue... currently value may well be the item best addressed.... oh, and the length, if it matters is oginhg to be about 12 feet or so...

Blindjim,

I tried to type in brale, but think I misspelled too many words!

I used to own the 4jr speakers and now own the BAT 5i preamp and two BAT VK-60 power amps in mono (have been looking for more lately).

I liked the Analysis Plus Silver speaker cables with the VR 4 JRs and the double/biwire run works well with this speaker as the speaker cable is only attached at the amp end (ie. there are two individual cables from that point on) which works well with the separation of the 4jr posts.

I like silver speaker cables with these speakers, additionally with the BAT equipment I think this will be reinforced. When I ran the 4jrs. I ran solid state and the silver cable was still excellent. With the tubes, I would say it would be even better!

At about $600 (used)for a pair it may be considered a bit pricey by some, so considering an alternative silver cable at a lower price may also be a solution. I have only listened to AP in the silver cabling.
