Good SS amp for VR-4 and GFP-750


Hello,
I would welcome any advice regarding a good (used OK) SS amp for von Schweikert VR-4's (which will eventually go through VR-5 upgrade) and Adcom GFP-750 pre-amp.

Listening room is 24'x16'x8'.

Looking at someting in the 1k to 3k range (would obviously prefer closer to 1k!). I'd also welcome cable suggestions.

Music preferences are very broad, but I listen to a lot of Cuban sons (generically, think of it as Latin Jazz, with all sorts of strings, horns, percussions, male/female vocals, ala Buena Vista SC), as well as a fair amount of Classic Rock (Led Zep, PF, Beatles, etc.)
A few times a year, I invite my employees over, and I need to reach decent sound levels for dancing.

thank you very much

Go for a MusicFidelity Acr3. i think it lists for 1595.00 and is 120 watts per channel. i litened to one last week very smooth and powerful..nice match fot the VS....its an English amp made in England they make good products..
I think you should seriously take a look at the Odyssey Stratos amp. See reviews by The Absolute Sound and look at the reviews on Audioreview.com. I purchased one of these after having amps from Adcom, Bedini, and Classe and I think it's one of the best buys out there. It sounds wonderful to ME. If you get one with the 120,000uf upgrade, it would run about $1295. The only drawback that I see is the wait to get one...but it is definitely WORTH the wait.
I'd look for a Bel Canto EvO 200.2(that you could monoblock later) or a McCormack DNA-0.5(Rev. A). Best of luck.

The best amp for any VSA is the Spectron Musician II.Albert will be using it at CES this year.If you are interested in one email me.
