Technics SE A7000 amp better than ARC D200 amp

Hegel H160 Integrated
You should also Listen to the Vandersteen Treo's with the Hegel 160Am also a dealer for both

Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass
((Chrshanl37 I agree johnny when and only when they are set up to properly Vandersteens sound great but off axis not so much.)) What you can try to improve off axis response is if in a rectangle room, is much wider then normal spacing, try sitting...
