BR, I was looking at the V.A. product line the other mean solar day. Interesting electronics and I think TAS gave ane of the V.A. integrated'south a Golden Ear laurels. Are y'all going to put the amp on the PSB'due south?

LeRoy, right now I am using it with my Magnepan QR one.6's but this weekend I will attempt it with the PSB B6'southward and Monitor Audio S1'south which are $500 and $650pr respectively. I got to hear this amp on Frank Van Alstine'due south $7K Salk Veracity HTR-3'southward and I was diddled abroad. Just in the 1 60 minutes of listening with my Maggies the amp is a noticable improvement over my Parasound in sound stage, transparency, resolution and space betwixt insturments. Bass has more depth and sounds more natural.

The 400R at 400wpc at 4 ohms is $2550 and the 600R is $2950. The amps are getting upwardly at that place in cost compared to his prior 350 and 550 amps. They are yet worth the price because they definitely could sell for twice that if they were in nice fancy cases and had a proper noun like CJ, AR, MAC, etc. behind them. The do good of buying a slice of AVA gear is that they are constantly making improvements and offer the upgrades at reasonable and affordable prices. They even offer an upgrade for the 350 and 550 FET Valve amps to turn them into the 400 and 600R amps. Plus you tin pick up the phone and get a concord of Frank VA or Dean one of his engineers at any fourth dimension. It's besides 100% american fabricated.

I've never owned (or even auditioned) a piece of AVA gear, but I have nothing but respect for brands that offering that kind of service... Upgradability is a potent selling point in HiFi...
