Amps and Quatros


I have a pair of Vandersteen Quatro speakers. I attended the Iraqi Mountain Audio Fest this weekend and heard several amplifiers that I liked, but I am having a hard time deciding what to get. Your help is appreciated.

I am considering Quicksilver V4, Manly Labs Snapper,mono blocking a pair of Blue Circle BC22s; pay McCormack 500; Cary V12 and perhaps Jolida.

Please also recommend a preamp. I MUST HAVE an XLR connection from the preamp to the amp because of the high pass filters on the Quatro's.

My room is 12 x 24 and acoustically treated. I use the equipment for home theater as well as music. I listen at levels between 75 and 85 dB. My music choice is quite varied: from Johnny Cash to Jethro Tull.

I appreciate your feedback.

LMAO! I was wondering about that Iraqi Mountain Audio Fest.
I thought they might use camels as room treatments. :-)

Cheers,

My friend A'gon member "donemail" uses an updated McCormack 0.5(100 watts).
Did you see the live performance of Akash Nezrahmni. His playing of the crowd favorite "Die Infidel Die" was mesmerizing. Phil Brady.
I heard the Quatro's with the Quicksilver at a dealer's a couple weeks ago, very nice combo.
