Would like a good integrated to power Vandersteens

I have Vandersteen 2CE signature 2 and also Model 1. Both are great sounding but a little laid back. I would appreciate any suggestions for an integrated amplifier or reasonable amp/pre-amp combo to bring these speakers alive.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Audio Research. Audio Research is excellent with Vandersteens. I don't know what he uses now, but Richard Vandersteen regularly used Audio Research to show off his speakers at shows and that combination with a Vandersteen 2W was one of the best systems I have ever assembled.

Lloyddelee21, Actually Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures don't need a lot of power and quite often lower powered amplifiers sound better. Any Audio Research amp/preamp combination no matter how low the power rating, combined with a Vandersteen subwoofer will be the best sound you could possibly imagine from a pair of Vandersteens.

Jimkinc, Take Stingreen's advice and call John at the Audio Connection.
