Von Schweikert synergy

I'm interested in hearing what Von Schweirkert users have found to be very good amps with their speakers. When I think of good synergy, I think of B&W and Classe, Audio Physic and Musical Fidelity, JM Labs and YBA, Kharma and Tenor. Are there any good synergystic matches for Von Schweirkerts?

Spectron MIII is very well known for the synergy.

I have VS 5 HSE's and use a Krell 300cx power amp and love the combo. Makes the VS 5's sing, huge soundstage and the best bass you can get out of them.

I found the BAT and Von schwiekert JR's made for a synergistic combination at the montreal audio show. The fact that they were chosen to be shown together says something as well.

"The fact that they were chosen to be shown together says something as well."

What? That the dealer is the only VSA dealer in Canada and one of only 5 BAT dealers in Canada? Makes perfect marketing sense. Doesn't mean it's perfect synergy, but I will admit they sounded good. I forgot what the amp was, but the pre was the 31SE and a D5 (can't remember if SE or not) as source.

Drew_w,

I don't understand why your jc1's run so hot in low bias???
Mine are just warm to the touch, I can hold both hands on the heat sinks with no problems.
Are yours in a cabinet or out in the open?

Now high bias is another matter entirely.
