I actually heard this combination a few months ago at a dealer location in Austin,Tx. Fabulous midrange with good bass extension (perhaps not quite on par with the Dunlavy SC-5).I personally believe that the ARC VT100 MKII is one of the better values in high-end audio.
Audio Research a good match?
I am considering the purchase of an Audio Research VT100 Mk II to drive a pair of Magnaplanar 3.6 R speakers, with a Wadia 850 CD player as the source component. Is this a good match? Is their a better one for about the same price? Just how good is the Audio Research VT100 Mk II? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Thanks for your help.
