Vandersteen Quatro CT

giving the Clark Terry a listen - yes a very fine recording on many levels :-) 

Karl you would be using 200 W
not sure what the vxr is drawing when on at idle but it is 45 W in standby.

and BTW that Pass is a sweetheart of an amp !!!!

@hifiman5, you were spot on.  Clark Terry's album "Portraits" is an excellent recording and one of the albums I'm using to break in the speakers.  I also recommend giving Eric Dolphy -  "When Lights Are Low" a listen.  I heard him play on one of Coltrane's live album playing the flute.  Very talented.  

Thanks tomic601!  I would love to listen to a set of Ayre mono locks in my system too.  On the tube side, I think a pair of Atma-sphere MA-1s would be interesting to listen too as well. The quatro has low efficiency but a steady 8 ohms across the frequencies might make up for that with an OTL.  Unfortunately, I think my dog might be too interested in an exposed tube amp to be safe. So for now, I'll continue to enjoy the Pass.
