I can't speak to synergy with your VTL gear - and in that respect I'd bet other VTL gear might be a fine choice. I've recently been very impressed by Emmanuel Go's First Sound (current) offerings. Other than that, Modwright 36.5 is my own pre of choice, because it works so well with his amps that I'm using. That's all that comes to mind in that price range that I've actually heard and impressed me over the past year, though I've heard a handful of others that did not in the respective system that they were being used in (important).
PREAMP suggestions
Well here I am again pondering a BAT tube model to pair with the VK-600 I purchased and am absolutely thrilled with the sound of. Currently running 20ft XLR runs and really would like to go fully balanced. I cant remember where I read it but someone once stated running a amp like mine from a single ended preamp is like bridgestone tires on a ferrari.LOL
While I don't need it tomorrow I've also thought about snagging up a used TL7.5 Any thoughts?
