I bought a pair of VR1s for my office system. I paired them with two blasts from the past, Rotel 971 integrated and CD player. With Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker wires, and Silver Audio Hyacinth IC, they are very dynamic, and sound good even at low volume. IMHO
Von Schweikert VR-1; What Amps are People Using?
I keep coming back to the near universal approval of the VR-1's, their great engineering, ultra sweet tweet, and their "big" sound, which seems to be a common description. I am wondering what amplification people are using with them, I notice some tube users, but I am particularly interested in results with a high current amp's effect on soundstaging, speaker control, bass extension, etc. I would like to know if these speakers are capable of giving some real bass weight with bigger amps, (physical limitations acknowledged,) -in my 14X14 room, without the need for a sub. thanks for your insights.
