Amps for Vandersteen 3a Sigs
Either something from VTL, PrimaLuna or QuickSilver amp. Vandersteen’s sound great with tubes.

Primaluna amp with Sonus Faber?
@runninkyle17 - I listen to my PL every night and I can't express enough how impressive they are. Trust when I say you will not be disappointed, just let your ears be the judge. I'm sure you already know this but try to bring music that you are ve... 
Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
Kevin is a good honest, no nonsense type of guy. You should really give him another chance. One of the few straight shooters I've dealt with in audio. Cheers

Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's
@clarintmonster2 - Damn I hate that you had a bad experience but you’re really missing out on a high end gem in PL. I have replaced my Audio Research amp and preamp with PL and haven’t looked back. My Magnepans have never ever sounded so good. I g... 
Class D is just Dandy!
No offense Erik but I find it hard to believe you can compare Parasound to any highend class A amp for musicality. I get it you love it, but let’s try and be objective. Parasound is a step over Adcom and 20 minutes from extreme fatiguing.Cheers  
Taralabs cables
@audiolabyrinth No I’m not, just the 0.8 speaker cables with bananas going into my Magnepan 20.7’s. Paired with 0.8 HFX interconnect RCA. Glorious sound stage, everything just disappears.Cheers  
speaker cable prices
Depending on your speakers I would look at Nordost Red Dawn, Kimber or Cardas. You should be able to get a good cable for your system. Red Dawn is a great high entry level cable.Cheers  
McIntosh MC501 or Audio Research DS450M for Magnepan 1.7
@benagli1  I owned the ARC DS450M and my advice is that they are not a very musical amp. They provide tons of power but that’s about it. Beside that the hum caused by faulty transformer was a complete nightmare. IMHO solid state amps are just not ... 
Class D is just Dandy!
@sfseay - I owned Mark Levington, Krell and ARC and their class D amps did not move me the way class A tube amps does. In fairness it could have more to do with it being solid state vs my preference tubes, however the best amp I ever heard was the... 
Magnepan Owners
@mikepowellaudio - I’m totally satisfied and elated with the openness and spacious results I got from the upgrade kit. Crystal clear highs, all the nasally sound is definitely gone. Thanks a lot and forever a fan and customer. I did the complete u...
