Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE

Hello. I'd like some input from anyone using a tubed integrated amp with Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE loudspeakers.

Considering a KT88 based integrated, but I'm also open to SS suggestions.

I'd like to hear from real world users.

Thanks in advance.

Hey TVAD, Camedeco thought you wanted to pull money out of your 401K :).

I am using VAC Avatar Super to good effect with 4JRs, not sure that this is comparable or not. VSA often recommends VAC for their speakers. Give Kevin or Albert a call.

Thanks, Maineiac. That's one integrated that interests me.

The DK amps are always a possibility, too.

If you can make do with only 2 inputs, how about a Berning. I used mine once to demo the VSA 4 Gen 111s and I thought it worked pretty well.

Good point, Swampwalker. I require at least three inputs and a tape loop, or a second pair of fixed level RCA outputs in lieu of the tape loop.

How about a VAC Avatar Super, Grant? Give you a similar flavor, KT88 tubes, and should put a few bucks back in your pocket.
