i have settled with dual Meridian G57, but 1 also works fine. I think, they make especially good combo with any Vandersteen speaker. Midrange is not sweet at all, but dynamic and transparent. Bass is solid and tight. Highs are clean. Have tried other brands as well, including expensive Plinius, Krell, Manley - do not like them at all with Vandersteens. Audio Research is good, but i prefer Meridian even to Refs.
