The speakers turned into a whole different animal when I used 4 of the Dreadnaughts channels to vertically bi-amp the speakers. Bottom line, to really enjoy the best from these speakers biamp them. This can be done without spending a lot of money by getting a used multi channel amp.

It has drive similar to the Bryston, but not nearly as bright sounding. When used with the VK5i it is best to use balanced connections.
