All vandersteen users ?


have been using vk55: 55wpc for a pair of vandersteen 2ce Sig2 where have been recently told by another dealer that unless we hit 200W, one cannot really imagine what these speakers are capable of ..... he mentioned immensely higher 'headroom'

now looking at either upgrading to

1. a pair of vk55 monblocks
2. or just a vk75

Speakers wise, wld be looking at going up to vandersteen quatro...

Qn: Wld 02 x vk55 monoblocks really be too little for vandersteen 2ce Sig2 OR for that matter the quatro..

any advice from any vandersteen users wld be highly appreciated...

Samhar,

Tks ur response. Suprised at ur comments as dealer mentioned that 110wpc w the vk 55 monoblocks r definitely way underpowered for the Vandersteens quatro...

No chance for audition :(

Thanks all for contribution and advise and opinions ....

was about to commit on a pair of dealers demoed QUATRO ... but stumbled upon the REFERENCE 3A - 'GRAND VEENA' that is

- abt same price range
- getting rave reviews (unbelievable compliments)
- cross overless design
- looks better (not important)

what wld u choose? my pre/power amps are BAT vk32/vk55 ...

no chance for audition on ref 3A :(
Oh...speaker defines the sound type but the BAT house sound esp in the mid range is to die for... So the BAT pre/power will remain.
Head the quatro w BAT pre/power nice....

Sent a query to Red 3A and they said tat BAT amps mate well w Grand Veena...

Sigh...can only intent to buy without audition ...

Tks u all for suggestion and opinions so far...
