With an integrated amp and using Vandersteen's crossovers, you need a processor loop. A standard tape monitor loop will not work. I have a Rogue Pharaoh integrated with processor loop and it works fine with the Vandersteen crossovers. Using Treo Ct's with 2Wq sub. Getting excellent results.
tomic601,
Bruce has a heck of a good store in San Diego. Been there many times since I moved out to Arizona. Wound up buying a Vandy sub and Bluesound Node 2 streamer there. I'm using a pair of Treo CT's along with the one sub. I have it dialed in very nicely with a good seamless transition. I have been using a Rogue Pharaoh hybrid integrated with good results. Put a NOS pair of Mullard 12au7 tubes  in preamp stage and an upgraded power cord. I have the original Direct-to-Disc of Thelma Houston and Pressure Cooker on Sheffield Lab vinyl. It sounds just as you described. Couldn't be happier with my system right now.

Cheers,
Tim

Hey Jim, I'm going to be in San Diego  between 6/13 to 6/18 to visit my daughter and her husband.  If there's any chance we can get together (and hope  I'm not intruding on your time), I would love to listen to your system(s)! Also would like to get down to Bruce's store and look around. I've bought a few things from him over the last year. I know you don't really know me very well, but I'm just a passionate and friendly audiophile who loves this hobby.
Cheers,

So sorry Jim. I didn't read your last post in it's entirety. Sorry to hear about your Father-in-Law. Maybe another time for us. Please excuse my last post.
Sincerely,
Tim
Ct. I learned this about Jim just reading a few of his posts. Great guy!       Cheers,
