Speaker Suggestions for ARC VT100

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am going to plan a road trip so I can hear all these speakers.

Has anypne heard the ARC with either Coincident or Silverline?

I am using my VT100 MKII with Magneplanar MG 3.5s. The combo is extremely musical. Very punchy, robust with tremendous soundstage. Try the maggies.

I'm now running two systems in my house with ARC VT100s, both with ProAc speakers--Response 2s in my study and 3.8s in my living room. I played around for a while in my living room with big Martin Logans (Prodigy) and with small Martin Logans (Aeons), but they didn't really have the slam I wanted for rock. Mind you, they were astonishing with vocals. I auditioned a bunch of other speakers, but ultimately ended up thinking how good the study system sounded and went out an picked up the 3.8s. There is something magic about ARC & ProAc.

Vandersteen Model 3A Signatures are a great pairing with that amp. I've heard it and liked it a LOT.
Good luck!
Mike

The vt-100 is a perfect match for Proac 2.5.

Infinity intermezzo 4.1t's are discontinued & selling new @ under 3k w/ship. built in powered sub w/room correction, not preludes but close...

I have also used this great amp on my top end of the Infinity RS 1-B's. They worked quite well!!

Someone listed a pair of Paragon Jubilee/Jems on the For Sale site for 2300. These are full range dynamic speakers using Dynaudio drivers. The have a excellent impedence values for tubes (8ohm nominal and 5.6ohm minimum), are very transparent and dynamic. I have used them in my system since 1996 - and I drive them with tube amps. They replaced Quad 63's (which I still have, just in case). They are tonally very neutral and they completely disappear into the sound stage. Paragon went out of business a few years ago - you rarely see these up for sale. Very highly recommended, especially at the asking price.

I've used the VT-100 (I & III) with Audio Artistry Dvorak, Proac 3.8, Kef Ref-III V2 and Thiel 1.6 w/sub (current).
They ALL sounded good so I guess amp is versatile.
I'd bet the Cain&Cain BEN single would sound magnificent.
I'd also like to try with Harbeth monitor-40.
Of course, the Tyler Linbrook would also work.

Used Audio Physic Virgo's are one good idea. about $2500 used. Good match and plenty of power for your room size...

Not the last word in bass extension, so hope you're not into pipe organs, but great detail, imaging, tonality. Bass is extremely detailed, just not going to rattle your teeth...
