At $1K for sound I personally would look no further, and I am currently powering them with a Jolida Integrated right now to great effect. I confess that I am also a fan of the VR-1s, and it goes without saying the Tylers are also extremely good speakers (I think my moniker more than gives away my bias there). Tyler demos with Jolida for what its worth, and I believe they make a superb match.

Bottom line is you have a lot of grat choices to look at... The Ushers are stunning looking too, not to mention anything from AV123. I'd say you are in the catbird seat here. :-)

You'd win that bet Dave. Can't wait to go back there. I've got $1000 put away in my vacation club at work so far. Vacation Club my a$$. Future Usher Owners Club is more like it.
