closdeducs- I was able to open up the V/R more than the Monbrison. With the amp at the same level of course. I also found the V/R to have smaller steps from soft to loud, or you could say the Monbrison had larger steps. Anyway, you are in for a treat with the V/R. Not to take anything away from the Monbrison. Did you put your 846A's on stands to get them up. I had 9" ones made, and it's a nice improvement. I just haven't gotten around to taking the original wood skirt off. If I do they will even look better, because the dimension of the stand is made to fit the base of the speaker sans the wood skirt.
Paul- I keep my D'yquems at around 1-1:30. My V/R usually 10P. I've heard it said with amp higher you get a bit more of the amp sound…. With amp less, and preamp opened more, a bit more preamp…. I can't say I heard this specifically, but it certainly sounds different. When I have great sound, I tend not to futz with things (-:
