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.

i'd be really interested to hear your thoughts on the Mac vs. Vac... tho i have a gut feeling about how that comparison will fare
Hey Grant, how about this beauty? I know it's tubed, but man!

Hello Sherod and Steve my old friends!
yo dean! you're right about that mac, it's sweeet looking. who knows what it sounds like tho... :)

Grant, have you done a search on Von Schweikert in the threads? I'm also curious what other VS speaker owners use for amplification. Needing lots of reserve power might be difficult in finding the right integrated. Do you have any close by dealers who might loan you something to demo in your own system? I'm also wondering if going to a SS integrated will satisfy you after getting spoiled on the Phi 110 tube sound. Are you getting tired of tubes in general?
Yes.

I would rather not ask a local dealer for a demo as I have no intention of buying new.

No.
