Mark Levinson with Vandersteens?

Hey all, hoping you can help me find a great SS match for Vandersteen Treos.

I have heard them with the Ayre V-5xe and was impressed but not blown away. A friend suggested the ML 532H would have more weight and body while retaining the definition.

Music = everything from Miles to Massive Attack but almost no classical.

System = hi-res files thru a Bel Canto 2.5 DAC/preamp direct into amp in a room 20w x 16d x 10h.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback all. I will certainly look into McCormack and Classe.

Ig316b, the Treos arrive end of this week so have not tried anything yet.

Bo1972, I agree with you but have to admit I'm not sure what you're getting at in terms of amp suggestions.

Thanks all for your advice and input.

Settled on a demo Modwright KWA 100SE, which I had no real knowledge of at the time I originally posted.

I was concerned about the 100w being enough to drive the Treos, but after talking to Dan at ModWright, I pulled the trigger. The results so far have been spectacular in all the right ways, especially resolution, sound stage, bass articulation.

Thanks again.
