My office system consists of Vandersteen 2ce speakers, an Audible Illusions Modulus 3 preamp (tube) and a Classe 15 amp that puts out 175wpc. It sounds excellent. I am using MIT AVT 1 bi-wire speaker cables as well. The sound is very full and defined with a large soundstage. IMHO, you need at least 100wpc to make the Vandersteens really sing.
What amp next for Vandersteens?
I currently have a YBA pre/amp with 50w into my model 2's. I love what it does but feel 50w even in a small room is not enough to get the dynamics right.I like the tonality and overall separation of instruments. My 100w Krell doesn't do it for me but it gets the dynamics right. What amp gives me the tonality and feel of the YBA with better dynamics?
