AUDIOVECTOR SPEAKERS

@captainsteve congrats on the R6 order! For solid state, Gryphon is one of the best with Audiovector, especially Diablo 300 or Antileon EVO. Before moving to Gryphon, Audiovector often used Naim amplification. Pass also a great match - had excellent results with XA30.5 (plenty of power for the R6) and know people who are happy with XA60.8. I realize these are all considerably more expensive than e.g. the Goldnote. I do think if you are getting an Arrete, you will keep getting more and more out of the speakers if you scale up. It’s a $35k speaker and deserves commensurate upstream equipment. I find my SR6 Arreté to be easygoing to get to "good" sound, but like all high-end gear, quite finicky to get to "great." Cardas Clear is an ok starting point but you should be able to do substantially better, depending on the amp. Just my $.02. Enjoy the new speakers!

For less expensive solid state, I know quite a few owners who are happy with Sugden. Luxman and Accuphase also a couple that can work well - basically fuller-bodied solid state. Lower power Class A is a great way to take advantage of the relatively high efficiency of Audiovector, as long as the amp has sufficient current capability and good bass control. 

taww. Thanks for your response I agree Gryphon would be an awesome piece to compliment my R6 not sure if you are familiar with Auris Fortissimo integrated class A/AB tube amp  2 great reviews on part time audiophile and stereo life magazine.My Goldnote PA 10 mono blocks with DS 10 worked beautifully on my Triangle Alphas so to be determined on the Audiovector r6 if I have the same .What are your thoughts on speaker cables vs my Caras Clear   Always appreciate other opinions 

The fact that each Audiovector Arreté R 6 speaker has a port on the rear for anchoring the speaker is something that I found to be particularly fascinating. A Y cable that connects into each speaker and is connected to a single AC socket with three prongs and a single point that fits into an electrical receptacle was included with the speakers I purchased. Only the ground pin is connected; neither the hot nor the chilly wires are.
