Matching preamp for ARC VT-100 MK I


I have recently bought a Proac Response 1sc speaker and a Audio Reserach VT-100 MK I. Any body out there have experience for a matching preamp for this comb.

Narrow my taste to only classic music; string works, chamber music, orchestra and opera.

thanks a ton in advance

I would probably choose an ARC LS-15 first. The two are the same vintage and were designed to work together. The VT-100 mk1 is leaner, more lightweight than the mk2 version and the LS-15 compensates for that by being softer and richer. At a lower price or different brand maybe an ARC LS-7, C-J PV-10, or BAT VK-3i (though with the VK-3i you'd be better off with a VK-60 for power).
