I have had Vandersteens for 15 years, upgraded from 2c's all the way up to Vandersteen 5. Had 3A sigs for 3 years.
Best deal you can get to power this is:
ARC VT130, can get one for $1800.
Couple with ARC LS2, about 1000.
This would be killer. If you want better, go to Ref 1 preamp.
If you only want solid state amp, use PSE V's monoblock. Preamp, use Audible Illusions M3A.
Either combination above will give you excellent musicality.
good luck.
