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
