I called an audiogon seller inquiring about a pair of 1.6QRs and instinct took over...
I've not got to worry about ample amplification for these puppies.
I've got about $2000 left of the budget for amplification (2500 if I get something with a great headphone jack).
I was leaning previously toward VTLs, inlight of Wilson M.'s comments and the consideration I'd be buying used, I think I'd be best off allocating my funds elsewhere. (I've blown my Jolida 2x already).
The Odyssey Stratos are still high on my list which would leave ~1100-1600 for a good used preamplifier. The odyssey seems to be praised with the 1.6s on AudioAssylum and Harmonic Discord---what do you guys think? I'm pretty positive whatever poweramp I go with I definatly want a tubed pre-amp, but have no preference as to mono blocks, stereoamps or integrateds. As long is they are driven beautifully an have atleast 3 line level inputs we're golden (though 4 would be a plus as would a great phonostage).
I'm gonna create a new thread to lessen confusion so you guys can help me with this problem exclusivly.
