Odyssey Khartago and Vandersteen 2

Has anyone heard this combination? I don't want a 20 year old McCormack or ?? I would prefer new with 20 year warranty Plenty of power for my apartment, compact size (good for a wheelchair bound owner) the right price even with the extra capacitor board. Klaus sounds like a great guy.

Rest of system:
YBA 3 amp
YBA 2 preamp
SOTA Star w/ Alphason arm
Mac Mini w/ Scott Nixon tube dac

Hi, the YBA sounds good but it's 50W into the Vandersteen's 7 ohm load. I have a couple of other amps, Krell with 100W and a Rotel with 200W and they have an easier time running the Vandersteens. I have the speakers bi-wired with Audioquest forget the model. I'm happy, maybe I thought I should change, it's been 17 years and I wasn't being an audiophile, right?

I have the 2ce speakers. I bought everything back in the mid 90's, I don't switch very often.

Upgrading to Sig. II sounds like the best option. Maybe I can get $4-500 for my speakers.

Yes, they're internally bi-wired. I have two runs of Audioquest Slate I can use. I'm using the internal bi-wire for convenience, I'm in a wheelchair.

Someone told me to get rid of the YBA stuff and look at an Ayre AX-7 integrated, it's suppose to work good with Vandersteens.
