Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's?


I recently bought a pair of these in great condition. I'm finding the treble a little on the soft/warm side. Any amp suggestions that will help balance out the sound? I'm thinking Bryston.

Hi. What's an RM10? Who makes it? I assume the preamp in a Conrad Johnson. Not really looking for tube gear unless it's incredibly detailed.


This exactly why I want to hear the Sig II's. I think just changing the speaker might get the sound I'm looking for. I use a Nak TA-4A, but would love to hear other amps as well.

["The soft top end of the original Vandy 2 was an essential part of that speaker's character (and charm). I say "Don't fight it".]
Johnny, are you guys the Audioconnection in NJ? Do you have the RM10 and 2C on display to try out?

Also, getting off topic here, how are the new Sig II's different from the originals?
For the people who mentioned Mccormack, why does this brand in particular make a good match?
Getting a little off topic here, but how do the latest Sig II's sound compared to the original 2C/2CE's? Maybe "upgrading" to the latest version will help? Very interested in the McCormack suggestion as well.
