advice for Von Schweikert vr-1's

If you can stretch your budget to around $1k, you can pick up a used Unison Research Unico. I use one with a Sony NS999ES with my VR-1's/VRS-1 combo with excellent results(even better after installing NOS Mullard 5960/CV4003's).

I purchased a pair of VR1's a few months ago. Currently I'm driving them with a McIntosh MA6500 integrated with excellent results. They also pair up nice with Classe equipment. Remember, the VR1's take at least 50 to 100 hours to break in...so be patient. They are amazing speakers!
