I have also heard them with Audio Research VT 100 & 200 and BAT VK75SE tube gear. I think they all sounded great. The Vandersteen's don't seem finicky. I have heard rumors that Richard uses Audio Research gear, but my dealer, who I also understand is a good friend of Richard, says Richard throws tons of gear at them.

I am currently using an ARC VT100 MKIII and the high definition is really impressive.
