I'm thinking of chaning out my system and using a integrated amp with my merlin vsm-m speakers. I've looked into the manley stingray and know of the ars sonum filarium by bobby. Any other suggestions? I would like the keep the price $1500-$2000 used.
I use a Karan KA-i180 solid state integrated amp with my VSM-M. Bobby does have a tube amp he recommends. Tubes may sound better then solid state with the VSMs, but I love my Karan and the VSM's sing with it.
Hi Tabl10s. The ARS is fairly new to North America I believe so it's not too surprising you haven't seen one in someones system before. Anyway, it is a very nice amp in my opinion and matches the VSM's very well. The picture of mine is a little crooked, (I'll have to fix that so people don't think it's the amp), but you get the idea. Cheers,
