tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr?


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.

I'm running mine with a Premier 11A (70Wpc). I am going to try bi-amping but with just the one amp, they seem to be adequately driven at the listening level I prefer.
More power the better. Used VTL 300's with good results, Also hurricanes, cary v-12 ect. Now using rogue Zeus, they need ever bit of that power to really get going.
You bet! Albert voices and shows with VAC tube equipment and he drove a pair of 4Jr in Vegas with Kevin's PHI Beta integrated amp with 110w/side and they sounded fantastic.
I use both Von Schweikert and VAC, and on some level, I think it's just wrong from a price-point standpoint to display the VR4Jr speakers with a $19,000 integrated amp.

How many buyers of the VR4Jr speakers are going to be seriously looking at VAC Phi Beta amplification? And, vice versa, how many purchasers of the VAC Phi Beta are going to be considering the VR4Jr loudspeakers to complete their systems?

Put a Ferrari engine in a Chrysler Crossfire, and I bet it'd be a smokin' ride, too.
A local dealer has paired the VR4-jrs with deHavilland 845 (30WPC), along with a Hovland HP-100 pre and Naim CDS3. The system was beautiful, playing in a room around 14 x 20. So, I don't think you need hundreds of watts. Perhaps, a little more power would have been nice higher SPL on some recordings. Made me wonder about the deHavilland GM70 (50WPC) paired with the VR4jr. So, don't count out some of the less 'powerful' tubed amps.
