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.

If some one can point me to a Phi Beta for around $7500, I'm in. I'll personally come pick it up anywhere in the US.

:)
Grant will drive to any location in the lower 48 in his E46 M3 CSL to pick up that integrated. Any excuse for high speed fun.

Have you considered the Onix H6550 tube integrated from AV123.com? Here are the specifications:

I have an Onix SP3 integrated and absolutely love it. Based on my experience with AV123's customer service and Melody Australia's design and construction quality, the H6550 amp at $1995 is a great deal. The photos indicate point to point wiring which looks a bit more solid than my Onix SP3. I feel absolutely no need to upgrade to the H6550 since my SP3 provides all the volume and sonic quality I need in my small listening room.
