I bought my Vistas last December and one of them was DOA. I have been using the store loaners ever since then and am very happy with the sound. Having a good relationship with my dealer, when my replacements came in they felt it was OK to sell them to a customer that came in looking for a pair. Considering I have their loaners and get good deals from this was no problem for me, as a matter of fact I was happy to help them make a deal.
They called today to give me info on the arrival of my Vistas and instead we worked out a deal on Vantages. I really wasnt interested in the Vantages for HT use but the Vistas are in a 2 channel system and the benefits of an upgrade seems to be a no brainer.
Now the main question is about my amplification. The VK-500 was bought with the intention of running the stat panel and the woofers. Now I need power for the stats only which means I might have to reconsider the 500. I wouldnt say that 400 SS watts is overkill, just maybe not the best option. I may sell that amp and look for a BAT tube amp, like a VK-60 or 75 to go with the system. Any thoughts?
