KR Enterprise Amps, "Do they have the power"

Hi, I am getting the KR 6000 VT monoblock amps. I tried to look for some info on it but very few was availible . I never had a chance of listen to a KR amp and I never use a valcuum transducer amp before. Can anyone give my a little break down on the amp. Does it have the power to run most big tower speaker on the market, like the Dunlavy?... How good is the bass reproduction...? etc. I have the Mc XR19 speaker ( two 12" woofer, one 8"mid, 12 1" tweeter ). Thanks

I no longer have the amp. It's been so long ago that I owned one, I can't even remember what speakers I had at the time. The VT6000 does have power. If you're using a dynamic driver speaker, you should have no problem. The tubes of the amp I had may have been damaged in shipping. KR leaves the tubes in place in the amp when they ship them. KR says the tubes should last 20,000 hours, I believe. All I can tell you is that it really sucks when one goes bad, because it isn't user replacable. They do have a US service person now, though. The VT6000 should work well for the type of music you listen to.

Hi, I have tried KR Antares (842) with speakers of 87dB and up. There is enough power to drive them up to the "sanity" levels and of course also on techno and dance. This is the very unique character of the KR. Tube sound for bass lovers..
