I'm using Forrests with VTL MB100.
Had for a while of service near a week Nikko Alpha SS amp 120Wpc. Tried to use it alone and seemed too bright at top end but when I connected this one in bi-amp with VTLs I experience a sound of speakers that I've never heard in ANY of the setups listened to and they were quite plenty:
Bryston 3B-st, Plinius 8200 mkII, Belles 150, Plinius SA100.
Tubes have top end and mid-range clarity unbeatable by any SS whilist good bass drive is best with SS.
I plan to add an inexpencive powerfull SS either Nikko that I loved or McCormack DNA1. I also will try make a DIY choice to build a passive sub that will be used with Nad C270, a powerfull digital beast that is great to drive a sub.
