Integrated recommendation with Vandersteen 2C


System is in second bedroom. Perhaps no ideal for 2C’s, but it is what it is. They are approx 12-16” from back wall and 7ft apart. I sit 7ft away. Room is 11x14ish. Budget is $1,000 or less. Maybe up to $1,200 if there is a significant jump in performance. Music I listen to is electronic, rock and pop. Some classical, but not a lot. I’ve been thinking maybe a Creek Destiny? Or perhaps, Krell S300i? Not KAV-300i. Just recently sold it, along with the matching 250cd player. KAV-300i way too bassy. Need something open and detailed with low bass detail, but balanced. Read the Creek Destiny review on Stereophile and it favors very well in being neutral, clean and very transparent. Speaker cable is Mogami 3082. Also have AQ CV-4 if needed in the end. Interconnects are mogami as well.

  Hey speaking of perfect Chemestry
 Did you ever get a pair of Sound anchors under those speakers
 or are they still rocking back and forth?
 
Bach
Unfortunately you are wasting your time with any amp Wire evaluation. without a solid platform and proper execution of tilt back.
Your results will be corrupt
Try taking a photograph when  driving down a bumpy road.
Playing music both speakers are moving you’ll be compensating for lack of articulation.  
Until you get the speakers on a solid plane tilted back and spikes tight 
you will never know what’s right and chasing your tail as well as letting others help you do it.
