| Matching an amp to the Vandersteen 3a signatures I'm using an ARC SP16 w phono and it sounds great. Not to pricey and they come up every now and then. Mating it with a Bryston 3BST at the moment in conjunction with SCE Harmonic Recovery System to help with impedance matching. I also swap out to ... | |
| Preamp for Magnepan I have 1.6's. Try Audibille Illusions Mod 3a or Audio Research SP16. Great with Bryston and Maggies! | |
| Snell Type A/II or Type E/III - opinions wanted I've owned a pair of E-III's since 1997 and recently had them re-foamed. They are incredible speakers and always sound great in every room in my home. I also have Vandersteen 3A sigs, Maggie 1.6, DCM Timeframes and the Snells in many repects bring... | |
| End of Snell Acoustics? Too bad. Great company that was very underated. I love my E-III's. Just had them re-foamed. I'm going to try my Quicksilver V4 amps on them as I think they would be quite tube friendly. Maybe easier for the Quickies to drive than my Vandersteen 3A... | |
| Pre and power amp for Vandersteen 3A Signature? I've just swapped out my Quicksilver V4 amps for my Bryston 3BST. WOW!! Very nice indeed. Much more defined edges and bass slam, not to mention clarity. Maybe not as deep of a sound stage, but very good. More of a forward presentation. Wondering i... | |
| Pre and power amp for Vandersteen 3A Signature? I'm using Quicksilver V4 mono blocs and ARC SP16 with very good results. I know you requested solid state, but this is a most musical combination with tubed components. | |
| Maggie 1.6 and Vandersteen 3A sigs I'm curious as well. I know it's a matter of personal taste, but I find it interesting to hear the opinions of others and there reasons for liking one over the other. There are a lot of things I love about the Vandys. It just seems the Maggies nev... | |
| What amp would you suggest for Magnepan MG12s I'm using an ARC 150.2 Tripath amp on my 1.6's. It's a wonderful combination. A Vandersteen sub fleshes things out, as well as opening up the soundstage even more!Magnepan and Audio Research are very good together!Good luck | |
| how much power do you need two drive magnpan1.6s I'm using ARC 150.2 Tripath amp for my 1.6's and it's wonderful. 300 watts into 4 ohms. Better than Bryston 3BST to my ears. Paired with AI Mod 3A preamp. Match made in heaven!!! I have a Vandersteen sub as well which opens up the soundstage even ... | |
| Repair in NJ/NY for Snell E-III ? Thanks for the feedback. Still waiting for the drivers from Snell. Hopefully it won't be a problem. | |
| interconnects and nuforce p8 pre? Failed to mention the preamp is Nuforce P8. Sorry about that. |
