Vandersteen 3A and DENON 5803; COMPATIBLE?

I second the motion. Not sure why you would even consider running the 3a sigs with a receiver. Unless you plan to upgrade at some point.

The McCormack will be like night and day compared to the Denon. Of all the recivers out there I think Denon is the most warm sounding. The McCormack ( from my personal experience ) will " jump out there and get you " Not so with Denon.

If you do decide to hook up a amp to your Denon, try CJ. But now I geuss we are of the orirginal subject...... You didn't ask about hooking a amp to your Denon, did you?

Nighthawk,

I forgot there are people who have home entertainment systems, and don't have enough space for a seperate 2 channel system. I am one those that prefers a 2 channel system. My home entertainment system is a 20 Sharp tv.

I guess it's a matter of priorities...

I only recomended CJ becuase it is warm, and reminds me of Denon. Cj is definitely a closer match than the plug that was put in for the " for sale McMcormack " But as I stated before. the oririginal question asked nothing about hooking up amp to the Denon. Only " will Vandersteen work with Denon? " Yes it will but I wouldn't do it. But then it's his money, his situation. I have done worse in my day.

Yes it will, but I think one can do much better.
