Amp for Vandersteen 2ci

Thanks for responses.  

@gdnrbob I was also thinking about the Belles 350a to long ago. I here great think about the amp. 

Thank you all for the recommendations. I this point I have not decided on an amp yet since their are alot of contenders within my budget. 

@soix Maybe true that the balanced output my not be fully balanced. In fact, looking at the service manual, the output is pretty much an  bi FET op amp. Maybe the intention was for the purpose of of noise rejection on long runs than provide a sonic difference. On the contrary, the RC-995 using the RCA preouts did made a huge sonic difference which the Vandersteen reviled the difference between the two preamps.  

Thanks lanx0003

Does the Parasound 21+ an improvement from the 21? I am trying to get as much info before I decide.

@holmz The B&K amp does drive the Vandersteen quite nice but my suggestion was more to improvement on quality than power wise. I do have a subwoofer available but I have decided to remove it from my system just because the Vandersteen produce enough solid bass for my room. Honestly I do miss the low extension subbass but for the level of listening and the kind of music I listen to usually does required it.

As for the preamp I am running a Rotel RC-995 which I recently purchase to replace a RC-970BX.
