MAC & VSA Synergy?
Great! Let me know your thoughts. 
tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr?
I am currently running mine with a BAT VK-60 but will probably purchase another VK-60 & run in mono providing 120 per side. I love what the VK-60 does with these speakers, it is the best sound I have had in my house yet. I have looked at alot ... 
MAC & VSA Synergy?
So what other choices are out there besides one of the new digital amps? The Pass amps always get high praise, how are the newer ones? I noticed they have more power. 
MAC & VSA Synergy?
I guess without getting too deep, it is hard for me to take the CIA amps seriously. An in-home audition would be best but I would need to do a little more research on them before I did anything else. I guess I am looking for a company with more ti... 
MAC & VSA Synergy?
The Channel Islands for some reason don't apeal to me, a friend has also suggested trying them. I am intrigued by digital amps but would be more interested in a Bel Canto or Spectron. Krell gear has always been something I want to try as well. I d... 
MAC & VSA Synergy?
Sorry, my system page is very old. I do have the Jr's & love them but don't think a "laid back" sound is what I am after. I guess I may just try the BAT 500, for a large SS amp unless anyone else has any other suggestions. 
Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp???
I have been curious about the DK VS-1, I read somewhere on this site that it sounds great with the Jr's but can't recall if it was a dealer's claims or not. 
Anyone using their Jolida JD 100 as a transport?
Pdher, what integrated do you think you will find that can match your BAT combo? You have a seriously sweet match with those two. I was looking at a BAT VK-300 to replace my VK60 & my dealer told me not too. He said the 300 is VERY nice but no... 
Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp???
To answer your question of whether the VR4jr's sound good with tubes they most certainly do. I am running a BAT VK60 that I am considering selling. It was fine in my smaller room but now that I have moved into a larger space it is just not enough.... 
BAT vs. Quicksilver
Tubes 108 you are correct, the added power would "probably" give me added headroom I need thereby allowing the music to sound louder or at least more dynamic. I also agree that spec's are useless.Justin, you are also correct, one part of me wants ... 
Best used universal transport/player for $1,000?
I am not concerned with video or the internal DAC's b/c I will use it as a standalone transport. I am more concerned about the playback qualities, with my Parasound transport there is a smmother presentation that sounds more analog. I have often w... 
BAT vs. Quicksilver
I agree two BAT's are better than one but with my new home purchase I am a little short on funds. My new listening room is larger than my old, I haven't measured it yet but it is above my two car garage so it is of decent size. I am concerned abou... 
BAT vs. Quicksilver
unfortunately there aren't any Quicksilvers locally that I could hear. I would keep the BAT & audition the Quicksilvers. Whichever one I liked better I would keep. 
Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's
I am running a single BAT VK-60 & hoping to add either an additional VK-60 or one of the BAT solid state amps for bass slam. I can't imagine not having tubes again but more power would certainly be nice. 
Battle of the BAT's, VK-60 vs. VK-220
OK, to keep this thread alive, it has been almost one year since I purchased my VK-60. I have been in love, nothing has changed in my system. I finally stopped listening to equipment & started listening to the music. I am in the market for a n...
