It's probably plenty bud, it just might sound like ass.  I haven't heard it, but I really doubt it would do the CS's justice.  Good speakers beg for good gear behind them to sound their best.

the VR2s run at 8ohms.  So they are easily driven by just about anything out there.
but they are also HUGELY dynamic, very fast and revieling.  not quite electrostat reveiling, but they will let you know what sucks behind them.

Stingray>VR2 is a dream system for the right room.
and speaking of dream systems...wait until Escott posts some pics of his new all tube Manley > vr4jr rig.
thats my dream system, in his room!

i've seen them as cheap as $1250, but usualy they run around $13-1500, depending on the tubes being sold with them.

I can get them new for not all that much more.
:-)

they are always on agon..but there are none at the moment.
try eBay.

b stock vr2s...and this is not an exact quote..
but they will be somewhere around $1300-1600 

i dont know for sure.  I think it will be around $35% off full retail, maybe even more.
B stocks are brand new w/an imperfection in the finish.  very minor, typicaly.
