Amplifiers

I am waiting on my AVA Fet Cfr tube preamp should be here next week.  Have 30 days to return it if not happy with it. I may upgrade my amps. Looking at the AVA 400r or the 600r maybe. Others I may look at is Rogue 180's used or Quicksilver mono 120's.  Has anyone compared the AVA amps to any of the others?

Rogue and Quicksilvers both work well w Vandersteen.....super excellent pairing IMO

might i also suggest Aesthetix and VTL, especially the Aesthetix for vise like control grip on the Vandersteen 2 bass coupler...

MrD yes that will be the plan after other upgrades. Then my goal it to keep moving up the Vandersteen line.
