Berning ZH-270 & Joule Electra LA-100 MK3 speaker

HI,

Using the above with a modest but killer JVC QLY-55F TT, and Von Schweikert VR3 speakers. Since involving the amp & pre in my system, I now realize that the VR3's are sadly lagging behind in speed, clerity and dynamics. . I'm seeking advice as to which fulll range speakers would be an awesome match with the Berning and Joule. Eletrostats, Box, it's all good. I want speed, attack, Dynamics and clerity. What are ZH-270 people using out there?

Thanks...Rocker77

You should probably look at the Gallo Reference 3.0/3.1/3.5 speakers - VERY fast, incredible imaging, excellent integration of drivers, and a reasonably small footprint.

The Gallos love high-current amps, the Berning would seem to be a very good choice. Dave Pogue, a well-respected Audiogon member, is running his Ref. 3s with a very nice 845 SET with modest wattage but huge current thanks to massive transformers. His setup is as sweet as I've ever heard and he is driving his Ref. 3s in a fairly large room, approx. 18x40...

You might want to ping him on his setup and the speakers' capabilities. He is a very nice man and quite knowledgable.

Ooops! I hit the Submit button a little too soon. I just wanted to add that I am driving my Ref. 3s with a Butler TDB-5150 - 5-channel, 150 watts/ch. tube/MOSFET hybrid and the combo sounds excellent. Not quite as good as Dave's, but really quite nice for an HT/Music combo. system....
