Upgrade Vandy 3A's or get larger amp?


I'm driving a pair of Vandersteen 3A's with 65wpc; far below the recommended power of 100 wpc or more. They sound fantastic even with this limited power, but I know I can do much better. I'd appreciate hearing from those who have upgraded their 3A's to 3A Signatures. Is it a substantial difference in performance for the $850, or would I be better putting the money towards a larger amplifier?

I had 3A's but never did the upgrade before selling them :(

I agree with Tap3sap - it depends a LOT on which amp you have, in terms of power. It also depends a lot on your room size. In a mid to small room, the Vandy's don't need much power. But in a larger room, say 30' on one side, I think you need a rather beefy amp to get a full bodied and controlled sound out of the Vandy's. If you are bass-freak, you can never have enough power :)
