VSA speaker owners What did you upgrade to?

While VR4 loudspeakers (Gen III, Jr, Sr) can do nicely with ample tube amplification, it's clear to me that solid state, hybrid or chip amp amplification brings them alive and controls their bass best.

For my system, the Moscode 401HR was absolutely the answer. The power and control of solid state with the sweetness of tubes.

Of course, if the goal is a system with low power amplification, then the VR4 will have to go...

Impressive. that's the first account I've heard about Avantegard or horns themselves, being lesser susceptable to room acoustics. I'll try to remember that bit.

I am astounded. What? No Sonata IIIs? I understand them to be far different than the IIs. Sure do want to hear how the SE do with your amp.

I really did think about that amp. I got the impression that it simply wasn't going to work to my preffs. I just saw it as a bit too agressive for me.

Interesting you'd come to the conclusion that it would be too aggressive sounding (whatever that means) without listening to it...especially considering you could have auditioned it in your home for a month.

I have yet to read any posts from any 401HR owners who characterize the amp as being aggressive.

Had you auditioned the 401HR, and regardless of whether you had decided to keep it in your system, I am certain you would have come to a different conclusion.

Don't know how the Moscode sounds, but it sure looks cool.

After my experience with the Sonata IIs, I really didn't want to go down that road again.
