What tube amp are you using with Von Schweikert VR series speakers


I have a pair of Von Schweikert VR4 jr speakers. I am trying to figure out what tube amp to buy to mate with them. I have tried the Rogue and think it lacks tube characteristics. I asked Damon but never heard a reply back with any suggestions. I would imagine if the amp worked well for a VR4 or 5 it would also be a good mate with the jr's. 

thanks

Conrad Johnson CAV 45 or CAV 45 S2. Ive owned both with VS and they are very close. The S2 is better but the original is very nice just like the S2. 45 watts vs 60 watts. I also ran a McCormack with vr4’s long ago also sounded really good.
 

You can pick up an original for $1300 to $1500 and the S2 for $2500 to $3000 used they retail for $5500 now.

 

The El 34’s with the VS works very well I preferred it more than KT88 amp’s in my system. 

Ive owned the vr-4's with a Number of tubed amps, Rogue has the drive do do the lowend justice, The rogues on the other had do Not have the mid range lushness.

A set of Golden Dragon kt88's Might just do it.

Another nice that grabbed the vr-4 by the balls was VTL Deluxe 300's.

Worst sounding amps Krell Mda300 mono blocks,

I will look into these suggestions. Agree with the Rogue drive. I also agree no lushness.
