    Not absolutely firm on VRDs if nothing is available. Would also consider other high end choices

    Shoulda bought the pair that was here several months back.

    love them, they are a great cross between the otl and push pull, i have the set version and the really sing (when i get a chance to actually listen to them that is)

    1200-1800 range depending

    listening to some loud stuff on k horns on occasion so something 30 watts + is kinda where i am going- but open to other offers.

     There's a Marantz 8b on ebay with an hour to go. They go for wabout $2k these days and are worth every penny.

    Every preloved pair of those I found offered here was under 1800 for quite a while back.   

    The recliner steals away the tinkerer.

    Re: WTB - VRD tube Monoblocs

    Just dont have 3 grand to drop right now for new ones. I fonud a set for 1500 and told a forum buddy about them several months ago. He bought them and loves them. 1500- 1800 is the going rate for nice used examples. I have a nice Mac 2105 to use until I find them so I have time to wait. Not in a hurry - just want to keep my name in the hat. Beautiful pics

    Re: WTB - VRD tube Monoblocs

    Sold the stereo VRD due to limited listening time, but they'll have to pry the mono's from my cold dead hands....And I would love to purchase a Stereo VRD again someday. Bump.
