Audio reserch reference 3....driving Nagra VPA amp


Just a quick and simple question....maybe someone out there know if audio researchs new reference 3 pre-amp matches well with Nagra VPA 845 monoblocks....i am tempted to make the dive but have no way of trying the setup before buying used pair of Nagras, any input and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards

be careful, especially since you can't listen before buying

One of my friend used to own a pair of Nagra VPA 845 monoblocks driving a pair of Tannoy Westminster Royal SE's at 99db sensitivity driving 1 x 15 inch driver.

He found while the Nagra's were very nice, they could not really drive the Tannoy's properly and sold them a couple of years back.

YOur speakers with 2 x 25inch drivers may be a harder task to drive successfully.
