I am a follower of the Sonic Impact Tamp and currently have a souped up wherein I got 2 tamps modded in one case for bi-amping. Power supply is a rechargeable SLA battery. Am happy with the Tamps driving high sensitivity speakers but with the 55wpc of the Virtues this is very nice. I bet this can very well drive the VR1.....hmmmm.....something to think about.

Bagets, VR-1s are rare birds as the owners usually hang on to them but once in a blue moon, one shows up. The next best thing is an LSA1. They aren't exactly alike but share a lot in common particularly Von Schweikert DNA. Folks are often polarized between one or the other. Oh and they aren't as expensive as most people think. They just sound expensive

Just sharing my new baby Virtue TWO amp in "Black Velvet" . Couldn't resist the itch friends (you know what I mean), so had to try TWO after ONE. It delivers everything advertised, 40 wpc of glorious Tripath magic in a size just slightly bigger than a 300B tube.

Will share my own impressions on this amp as soon as I get over the drooling and enjoyment of the beautiful music I hear.

Brader Ojof00l, padinig naman Virtue monoblock setup mo.
How are they with your ribbon planar speakers? http://www.bgcorp.com/planarmagnetic.htmlOk din ba with the Infinity? Can't wait to give you a visit soon to hear them live. Dalhin ko rin yung TWO aka Ofrah with the upgraded PSU para ma-testing natin.
@sir JoeyGS, you're welcome to check them out before taking the plunge.
