How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
I have the original VR-4. I have had these hooked to several Large tube mono blocks and large solid states. I can clearly hear the diffrences between designs.To me solid state amplification is not what these were designed for. Although these need ...

Low priced giant killers
Stretch you budget a bit say to 1100-1200 and go with Von Schweikert VR-4. Dont think just do it. You will have all the punch you will want plus outstanding low level detail.Ive changed amplifiers in the 7-12K range (Used List) and kept these. Bes... 
B&W 801/ Triode experience
Thats a nice amp the 4004II. Id think the melos will do well but not control the woofs that well. Be nice to try the 4004 on the lows and the melos mids/highs.. Might like the palladium monos with the extra power, control, with a good tube preamp.... 
tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr?
More power the better. Used VTL 300's with good results, Also hurricanes, cary v-12 ect. Now using rogue Zeus, they need ever bit of that power to really get going.
