Well, the Gen III is a vast improvement over my Silvers. If I had them, I probably wouldn't prefer the VR2s either. But compared to the earlier VS speakers, the 2 is a hands down winner.
Von Schweikert speakers seem to love tubes. I had a pair of VR4 Silvers using a Music Reference RM9. Great match. Now I have a pair of VR2s, which is a better speaker in every regard, using the same amp. Another great match.
VR4s are a relatively easy load, so any decent tube amp of 40 watts or more should do the trick.
