Hi Need assistance - Do you owners of VSA VR4-jr have experience driving them with any tube amp ? i'm considering moving towards tubes but not sure they will have enough power for the speakers.
They sound excellent with a PrimaLuna Prologue 2. Granted you don't have all of the solid state grunt and sheer power, but you have finesse and quite reasonable bass. Highly impressive.
Surfgod: "You have to buy whats (sic) reliable & cheap on (sic) this market."
Why do we have to do that?
BTW I'm using Quicksilver V4s on the MR/treble of the rather insensitive Eminent Tech. 8s, and they (BOTH of them!) sound fabulous...best I've ever heard (but I don't get around much to listen to SOTA systems). .
I would suggest 100W minimum. I have a 50 watt ASL amp and it drives them ok, but not in triode mode. I am going to give the bass 200W each channel with solid state and use my ASL tube amp for the mid-high at 30W. The bass driver uses most of the power.
