| Amp upgrade recommendations For the money,why not look at a Plinius SA-250,Pass X-350 or the newly listed MBL.You are going to want a fair amount of power for the Vandys.Going to a class A biased amp will be a revelation on these speakers.I like the Gamut amp,but you push it... | |

| I need advise on amp upgrade. Hello, If the speakers are efficient,the Gamut is good.However,if not you will tax this amp.Between the X250 and SA-250,the X250 will sound quicker in the top-end with the Plinius adding a little sweeter treble.I prefer PURE CLASS A operation,but ... | |
