Would like a good integrated to power Vandersteens

Whats your budget?

On the high/ultra end: Vitus, Gryphon...

On the powerful/slightly super-clean end: Krell Evo Integrated (equiv of 402)...might help bring them alive

On the mid-priced: NAD makes excellent stuff

Schubert's suggestion makes sense to me...have heard extremely good things about Audio Analogue though have not heard myself. the only thing is you said Vandy's are a bit laid back for you...and you want an amp to "wake them up"...hence why i suggested SS amplification with some serious current and a tendency towards 'exactitude'.

Hi CBcarbaj,

good call. they may "wake up" the Vandersteens as was originally requested...they need a lot of high quality power. And the Brystons are good at that. i have heard the new SST2 is actually quite sweet in comparison to many SS amps. particularly the 28B SST2.

I bet they do! good combo.
