| Aragon 4004mkII OR Adcom GFA 555 II Ive owned both. the aragon wont be in your face as much as the adcom. Much more refined sound, its a great amp comparring to more expensive amps, Be careful its very detailed so if you have hot highs already it might put things over the top. | |

| 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 ... | |

| Altec Lansing A7s Back... The strong point is the midrange on these and it is spectacular. You can make these sing with good eg. Why not try Model 19 its the home version better sounding and effecient as hell. In my front room I had the following all at once. Altec A7X pai... | |

| Bi-Amping, best way?? That should work. let us know how it does. | |
| 845s: To biamp or not Im not sure but that amp of yours the 845 is pretty darn good and is a very linear tube. Unless there is a crazy load on the lowend id stay with the 845.I run Schweikert vr-8 with 96 db. Was running a rogue 120 with great bass(feedback) got the it... | |
