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.

Thanks a lot for planting that seed of "lust" in my heart for the PHI's. I need to be satisfied for a while with the Musicblocs. Let us know how the Odyssey Stratos Mono's work out.
I own the extreme monos Oddyssey stratos I never regret
having them.They are very natural sounding amps.I am
thinking of selling them, but it has been a year now.
I am having a hard time letting them go.
I'm considering purchasing these speakers and my current amp is CinePro 3K6 with Integra Surround Processor. Would this amp serve these speaker justice.

Thanks - Hap
Hap123, I'm not familiar with the CinePro 3K6, but the VR4 Gen III HSE reveal whatever is upstream, and their sound changes accordingly. I once owned a Bryston 14B SST, and it produced bone crunching dynamics, but it had some glare that the speakers revealed. Any grain or edge in the amp will come through the Gen IIIs. They are not forgiving in this regard. They also like some watts and current to really come alive...100 wpc does it, but more is, well...more!
