Amp pairing for Sierra 2 bookshelves and Vtf-1 Mk2
Good to hear any recommendations as far as preamps go in the >$500 range? I was going to go with the Schiit SYS passive pre but with your experience you might know something better!

Hmm well that's worrisome as I just ordered a Virtue One.3 but for the sake of future upgrades I listen to a wide variety of music. Hip-Hop, Krautrock, Jazz, Electronic, Folk, Punk, Prog-Rock, among other things. I've heard the ONE.3 is comparable...

Also I know class D doesn't mean tube but I've heard they sound similar.

Well I've used a tube amp before for my HE-500's so if it's anything like that it shouldn't be any issue.

Right now based on your combined imput I'm debating between a Virtue Audio Two.2 and a Class D Audio SDS 474C/ Maybe 500C + Schiit SYS. Any thoughts on this combo?

So in that sense do you mean for me to forgo a new amp entirely and get the sys to bypass the preamp in the yamaha or to get a good power amp (which I am certainly open to suggestions on) and connect it via the sys?

That's an interesting suggestion. Sorry for my ignorance but what exactly would the sys do for the sound quality? Also what would you suggest for power amps?
