Anyone using Von Schweikert's w/ Musical Fidelity?


I **think** I've finally settled in on a system I'm really happy with! I say "think" because my system seems to constantly be in a state of flux... DAMN YOU, AUDIOGON!!

I'm curious though if anyone else has paired Von Schweikert speakers with Musical Fidelity amps and what their opinions are? I read a lot about a synergy between MF and B&W, plus a few others - but haven't seen much in regard to Von Schweikert paired with these amps.

I've got the VR-1's paired up with the A300 integrated and they sound better to my ears every day. I've barely got them broken in at around 100 hours and, literally, can't wait to get home and crank them up.

I think there were a few threads some time ago about amps used with VSA speakers, check into that thread.
Yes, I am !! ...but only for the last 24 hours, my MF 308 power amp just arrived yesterday from an audiogon seller. I have CD Pre-24 and 308 power amp driving VR4Jr speakers. Unfortunately I haven't yet received my new speaker cable and interconnects so am presently listening through old Monster cable that I purchased 15 years ago. Still it has a great level of clarity although the bass will definately tighten up when the PS audio cables arrive from the Audio Advisor (they have great deals on these now - 75% off !) . Once the system is together and I've put a few hours on it, only then will I start playing around with the positioning, spiking, weighting etc.

Main reason I went for MF was because of previous experience; I bought a B200 integrated back in 1989 with a pair of Infinity RS4001 speakers - nothing I listened to at the time had such a smooth liquid sound as the MF, possibly because it operated in class A/AB, though I'm really not sure about this - it certainly ran very hot - can anyone confirm ?

I went for the VS due to the great bass extension for a compact unit in addition to the usual attributes of a mid/high end speaker. I must say you do need a fair bit of power to drive these things though I do have a very large open plan living room. I would suggest minimum 150w if you have a reasonable sized room. feel free to drop me a e-mail. steve
