Vandersteen 1c, and an integrated

Yes, the RM-10 really is an excellent match for the 1b's. I don't think they're that hard to drive, I also used a passive pre although not Roger's. Coincidentally there is another thread about powering Proac 1sc's which is what I now have hooked up to my RM-10 (I still have the vandy's just not sure I want to sell them) but figured I'd look like too much of a MR shill if I posted there also.

Well, if the RM10 can drive them, I'd say that is a pretty hard amp to beat anywhere near the price, and about as maintenance free as a tube amp can be. Small, cool running, and cheap to retube -- in many years.

I was wondering, what evrybody thinks of the new YBA gear, the intagrated, and cd player. They have a good sale at Audio Advisor.

They YBA gear I have heard has been superb. Don't know about the particular stuff you are looking at, but they certainly have an excellent reputation.
