Amplifier suggestions for Von Schweikert VR4 JR

With rock you will need power. But power with Warmth and demension. Rogue 120's will be a great choice, Vac 70/70, canary ca-339, I have a rogue Zeus available to you that would really drive those fine. Solid state maybe mccormack,or a rowland. I have the vr-8 upgraded to something larger by Albert.

From everything I've read and heard these work well with many different amps. I'm using a BAT VK-300x 6922 version with mine. It has a nice balance from top to bottom with excellent bass control. The early 70's Amperex from Holland are the icing on the cake. This combo needs a front end with better than average resolution in my opinion. Good luck with your search.

Jim, thank you for the oppurtunity to suggest the Moscode 401hr a tube hybrid. At $5k it is in the price range with your speaker. They have made appearences at shows to together. It is quite a marriage.

I'd suggest you checkout one of the Ice H2O digital amps from designer Henry Ho. (There's a nice review of them at 6moons.com. and numerous posts both here on Audiogon and on the Appogee Users Forum on AudioWorld.com. They're only marketed directly over the internet at iceh2oaudio.com. They're phenominally well built, reasonably priced and, at least to my ears, provide amazing sonic performance. I've compared them with several highly respected and much higher priced pieces and in the end, made the decision to buy them myself. He also has a new companion preamp. called the Fire that perfectly matchs his amplifiers. I have the Von Schweikert V4 HSE speakers and I recommend them highly. BTW-Henry has a demo. policy and is very easy to work with. I wouldn't pass up giving them a listen. I'll bet you'll be as pleasantly surprized, as I've been. Good luck in your search.
