Thanks folks.
I thought I was "upgrading" from my little old Krell integrated in going to the much more $ MF components. And they sounded pretty good at the dealer, but they were setup with a much more forward sounding speaker so probably not the best indicator of how they'd sound with my Vandersteens.
I may need to go back to what I know I like...Krell. But in the meantime will try your suggestions: check out Bryston, tweak the Vandersteens and look at resonance device.
