Welcome Pricelessobject :thumb:
If the amp have 4 ohms taps and the speakers dont go under 4 ohms it may works.

I owned the Cary unit with a pair of VR4jr's and the Cary did not produce enough power.

The VR-5's however have a much higher sensitivity @ 91 dB and that Cary unit could drive them.

Plus - if you are in the market for speakers, that is an absolute steal for a great pair!

Good luck and welcome!
