I would think one VK-60 is inadequate. I drive mine with a pair of BEL 1001 amps in mono configuration, which works magic. In my experience, the Extremas need LOTS of power to get the pitch right in the bass range. Given your other equipment, I'd suggest the bigger BAT solid state amp (model 500?).
Driving SF Extrema with one BAT VK-60 ?
One of my friend has successfully drive the Extrema with 300b push-pull tube amp. So, I'm thinking about getting a tube amp, BAT VK-60, to drive my SF Extrema even it's not using 300b. Is it a good or bad idea? Would you suggest any 300b amp that would be a good match to the Extrema?
