Westlake HR-1VF quad-amping

[Michael_M]

Hello Friends!

I am waiting for Westlake HR-1VF

quad - amping only

what do you think about amps for WA?

may be Accuphase A-200 to bass? And 3 pcs A46 for other ways?

Or Accuphase not good partner for Westlake?

Mark Levinson? Krell?

I want to build reference system

Hard and Heavy music in priority )))

Thanks!

I would use one KV2 ESP4000 per side

Is KV2 so good?pos
Don't forget westlake is one of the best hi-end speakers in this world

[grumpy]

It (HR-1VF) is certainly impressive, expensive, and imposing... and deserving of quality amplification.
Which, I'm quite sure, is what was being recommended, in POS's opinion... as the description
of Westlake's offering was your opinion (and perhaps that of many others).

It would be interesting to see examples of where the KV2 products have been successfully
used in critical listening installations

They may have been 20 years ago, but today there is a lot of competition. I may be out of line for this thread, but I have a hard time with that statement.


As to the original poster's question, I would suggest creating a good relationship with a local dealer and borrowing several amplifier choices to try before buying.

If high end and pro gear interest you, I would recommand JMF-Audio or Fm acoustics amps !!!

I still think westlake is one of best hi-end speakers in this world at present.there are seems so many hi-end speakers nowadays,but most of them are just toys,westlake and JBL are acoustics tools

Just try as many gears as possible,then you will find it

Fm is most expensive amp in this world

You will have problem ,
I had westlake hr1v with Fm Acoustics tri-amping this was good but not best it was similar to cheap amps BGW tri-amping a bit better for FM
you can check
amps like
Lab gruppen
Camco
MC2--this sometimes I use to Tad speakers

quad-amp is difficult

Hi

SS is better

I do not know esoteric A-02.my last not pro amp I had bat vk600se 300/600w is very good for mid and high better than mc2 but only for bass mc2 is better.
for westlake bass I checked carver silver seven 500w tube was quick and hard but not to have deep bass which gives solid state .I had in westlake 2x jbl 2235 I saw HR1 with tad or gauss bass drivers.
which you have
