I had v4 with my 5a it was a great match and low maintenance unless you are willing to invest about twice the money the v4 are a great match to the speakers and hard to beat. I could of got other amps on several occasions but the v4 are one of the amps I have had forever and outlasted almost everything else in my system. I have sevens comming so I upgraded my amps but I should have my v4 on audio gone in a couple of weeks keep an eye out they where just serviced last year as well and have upgraded triggers. Might be a little high for your budget though but anything lower is a pretty severe compromise.
Any tube rec's on Vandersteen 5's
Fellow Agoners, I'm looking for tube recommendations for the Vandersteen 5 series. I am looking to spend no more than $2800 used and think somewhere between 80 to 100+ watts might be sufficient.
Have Joule LA150 mk 2 pre and Ayre CX7e CDP and some synergistic and Nordost cabling and nice Nordost conditioning systems. Also have decent vinyl system that comes and goes based on room availability.
Looking for something on the warmer side of ARC VS series.
I'm considering the VAC musicblocks. I've owned an Avatar SE in the past and liked it with my devore 9's, but am wondering if the VAC Vandersteen combo might be a tad warm.
I really look for dimensionality in a pure band setup format but tonal accuracy is also important to me.
