Emigene, disagree with your statement above saying "will be difficult that nother tube amps can do it" NOT TRUE!!!!
I owned CAT mono's JL3 Sig MK2's and in my opinion not in the same league "universe" as the VAC's driving these specific speakers.
Boulder, I had a pair of 2050 mono blocks and even though they did this and that nice again not in the same league as the Vac amps with these speakers in my opinion
Have fun trying this and that, I know I did and learned allot along the way - end of the day it will come down to personal taste but in my opinion the VAC Statement 450's are the REAL DEAL and gets you off the merry-go-round, allows you to just enjoy! :-)
