Mcpherson.....just thought I would give an update on another potential speaker match. I was able to buy a pair of the TPA-30's (locally for great price)....had a pair of them before, but sold to get more power. Now I'm back because I couldn't get the 30's sound out of my head.
Anyway, paired the TPA-30's with the Von Schweikert VR-6 speaker and it was INCREDIBLE. I was using the VR-6's with a pair of the Canary 140 monoblocks (it sounded good) but with the TPA-30's.....WOW! The VR-6's are a good match as they have 96 db sensitivity and the Thor's provide all the power they ever need to rock the house. While the VR-6's are no longer made, if you could find a used pair (or maybe even try one of Von Schweikert's newer models) you may be very pleased.
It's great to have an all Thor system again (TA-1000 Mk 2, TA-3000 Mk 2, TPA-30's)
Best regards,
Dave
