Hi,
(I posted this on the 'best amp' thread for Europas but thought I'd include it here also for those just checking out the speakers)
I've tried two amps on the Europas, a VAC avatar and a Classe DR-9. Both work great...they are kinda a ying and yang of pedigree amps, the Classe giving a stronger (particularly bass), warmer (yes it's 'warmer' than the tubes) seemingly 'faster' presentation while the VAC has a smoother, more liquid, ambience.
Must first impression on hearing the speaker was "smooth" and the second was "clean". Great integration and transparency lets one really hear what behind the speakers.
Kudos to Roy at Green Mtn! Also to David Reich and Kevin Hayes for beautiful sound.
Peace be with you...
