I've no actual exp with either unit. I have heard from a couple or more Vandy 3a owners they opted for more power than 125 receiver watts to run theirs with.

you might check some of the virtual system's more closely to see what other 3a owners are using too.

Many amps will do you better than will those within recievers.

I don't feel "louder" was the aim of these other folks. Better.... I suspect was their aim.

do remember... there's watts and then there's watts! that normally means the power supply is key with amps. That and storage for power reserves.

250wpc ought to be right in the target area for those units, easily.

BTW.. Congrats too. Enjoy.
