Amp for Vandersteen 5A Carbons


Getting ready to, very possibly, make a deal for a pair of these Vandy's. Wondering if my amp will do. It is more than fine with my current speakers, some older Infinity's with powered side-firing subwoofers, but those speakers have a sensitivity of 96 dB. The Vandersteen's is 87 dB.

My amp is an Audio Research VT100. 100 watts/channel.

In terms of power, you ought to be fine given that you are not driven low frequencies.  Tonally, you might find that you want something a bit more forward though.  Obviously you can't be certain of that till you get them in the room.  Very much depends on room damping, etc...
