monoblocks for von schweikert vr2?


hi, i currently exclusively listen to sennheiser 650 headphones but i am ready to assemble a modest speaker system for mid sized room 15x20'.

my current headphone amplifier is wooaudio 3, which is class A SET and also works as preamp, ideally im looking for monoblocks in the $1000-$1200 range (used) that i can mate to this headphone/preamp.

the maximum sized speaker that this setup would be driving is something like VSA VR2, not super efficeint (<90db) and alittle more power requirement than standard bookshelf.

i would prefer tubed monoblocks but i am open to solid state (small chasis) as well. most of the decent monoblocks ive seen seem disproportionately expensive considering the speakers in question. i guess if the monoblocks dont pan out an integrated will be in order, even though redundant for me.

thanks for any recommendations!

thanks for the responses i will look into the bridging option

Pawlowski6132 do you know the difference between cary cad-100 and slm-100?

thanks again
I have the VSA VR4JRs and am using Cary SLM-100 monoblocs and love it. There is a pair of CAD-100 monos on A'gon right now for $1,100 - worth considering I think.
One other option you could experiment with is to take a two channel amp and bridge it. For example, the parasound A23 power amp may be ideal. A pair of them brand new would run you about 1600, but I'll bet you could talk the dealer down. They are set up for bridging, and sound quite good. Bridged I believe they offer somewhere near 200 wpc. I never brridged mine, as I only owned one of them, but was very impressed.
