Joule LA 100 mkIII and Bat VK 60?

Just curious as to what everyone thinks about this combo and if anyone has ever used it? I have a pair of Merlin VSM MM's and a Joule LA 100 MKIII with a Berning EA-230 and a Sony SCD 555 ES cd player. Sounds good to me right now - but was wondering if it could be better. Can't afford the OTL amps - maybe a Berning that was priced right - but otherwise, not in my price range. Any thoughts are welcome

Thanks,
Brian
