Amp for VA Beethovens?

You don't mention your budget but here's a couple of suggestions: I have the Beethovens but will be selling them soon as I move up the food chain, so these are from personal experience. At the rather expensive range, a MAC MC2102 was the best followed by a Sonic Frontiers Power 2. Down the line, I had a Classe CA200 that was also great with the Beethovens and lastly both a proceed AMP2 and believe it or not an Outlaw 750 also worked well. I guess the moral is, the Beethovens work well with most amps but I would look for an amp that's fairly powerful.

Good Luck, Mike.

I'm a former Beethoven owner, I moved up to the Strauss. I preferred a SS amp. I know some like a tube amp with the Beethovens, but IMHO the bass was not tight enough. I used a Classe CA-200 with great success, until moving up to my current Threshold T400. If you want to stay with an integrated, I'd recommend the BAT VK-300.

Good luck,
John

With my Beethovens, I used an Ayre V3. Fantastic sound!

They do not sound very good with B+K amps. Vienna's are kind a layed back so a if you drive them with something a little more forward it's O.K. I would like to try them with my freinds Krell.
