Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

VRDs are some of the best...

If your really interested in one of the best push pull tube amps out there, these would really rank as such (Id guess).

Looking at your Bel Canto 40 watt SETs and the Dynaco SS amp, Id guess these would be a big upgrade, for these speakers. I think a high powered single ended amp might not do all too well with a speaker like this. This really was never made for SE use. And a mediocre (no offense) SS amp really wont do this speaker justice.

I can tell you the VRD amps deliever EVERYTHING in spades on these speakers. The bass is just amazing! I feel Im missing nothing. They have elegance, detail, power and force whenever its demanded of them. And even when I feel like playing ridiculously loud they seem to not run out of steam.

Now if you have some 15x25 or bigger room, maybe these will not be what you want, I really wouldnt know. But for a conventional sized room, they will get PLENTY loud for my tastes.

Also Im using a MHDT Havana DAC for my digital needs. A D/A I also recommend with the highest marks.

Heres Craig's web page for the amps. In the pic he still shows the old build with a PCB on the pre stage for the amps. That is no more. He has long went all point to point wired inside.

I ordered mine with all premium parts and the price for the pair was about $3200. I really dont think theres anything out there for that money that could best these. No regrets at all.

All the best

Dave
