Von Schweikert synergy

Mine are out in the open. It's really strange since I've heard that they should run ok temps when on low bias, but for the upcoming months it's going to make life quite uncomfortable without blasting the air conditioning 24/7.

I use a Plinius 9100 integrated with VR-2's and it's a great combo - big, articulate sound, great bass slam and smooth detail.

I use Consonance 211's with the DB-99's. Very good synergy. Albert uses them with the 99's in the shop among others.

For my VR-9s, the DarTZeel NH-108s are an absolutely magical match. I've never heard music reproduced as cleanly, transparently, and (most important) musically. The amps are only 100 wpc, but they have NO problem driving the 96-dB VR-9s to ear-splitting levels in my room. Several 'Goners have this combination, and they're over the moon about it. Maybe some will comment here.

I would say that VSA speakers are like chameleons. They match well with most electronics, and are so neutral that they sound different with whatever they're matched with. I've heard the VR1s, VR2s and VR4jrs with Pass Alephs, Brystons, and Manleys. The VR4srs with Mark Levinsons and BATs. The VR4hses with Mark Levinsons and Krells. All sounded different, all sounded good.
