I agree with the VT100 Mk II. This is the only way to go in your price range. Hell, man, it's the only way to go, period, with you speakers. The exception would be speakers with a difficult load. Then you'd need a VT 200. But the truth is that the VT 100 Mk II is better SOUNDING than it's big brother. Prices are great right now since Audio Research is shipping the MkIII versions. Right around $3,000.
Tube Amps for Coincident Super Eclipse
I have just purchased a pair of Coincident Super Eclipses, and am seeking advice from my noble HI-FI friends on which tube amp to mate with these speakers. I would like to keep my price below $3500. I auditioned them with the Cary 300SEI and that was pretty sweet. Any thoughts?? Thanks!!!
