Speaker Recommendations for Audio-Research VT80


Hello,

I can purchase a gently used Audio Research VT80 from a friend for a good price.   He is getting a Audio Research 150 se.   I'm wondering what would be a good speaker pairing.  I don't have any speaker presently.  Just starting out.   Budget is up to ~$20,000, would like to stay less.   

ok, thanks

My Proac D48Rs love Audio Research tubes. I have the VSi75 right now and see the 150se in my future
I would look at speakers with powered low freq drivers. I would audition the Vandersteen Quatro CT and the Legacy Aeris.
OP, did you end up getting the VT80?  What speakers did you go with?  How did it work out?
