Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's


I'm curious what owners of these speakers are driving them with. I currently use a Gamut D200, and am wondering what others I might consider. For example, the Pass amps . Anyone got any suggestions as to what they have found to be a great combo?

Carl, it really depends on what you like in am amp. For example, do you prefere a darkly light sound stage or a bright one. Do you prefer body to transparency or vice versa (I often find there is a trade off between the two). Also, what types of music do you listen two? I would suggest that you try a Musician III (I am a big fan), but I hesitate to do so until I know what you like in amps. For example I love the Spectrons, but others don't. I know why they don't (some people realy like what tubes and class A amps have to offer), but I find it often comes down to personal preference.
Next question...how much are you looking at spending??? Sorry, I should have asked that before!!!
If you are interested in a pair of JC-1's (which I use with my VR4 Gen III SE's), let me know. I may be selling, and if I do I will give you a good price. It was actually Tom, I believe, who got me to try the JC-1's (Thanks Tom). Tom is correct that you will find it takes some juice to really drive the Von's. I am considering going to an effienct speaker (Db99's).
