I recently bought a pair of these in great condition. I'm finding the treble a little on the soft/warm side. Any amp suggestions that will help balance out the sound? I'm thinking Bryston.
RM10, match made in heaven. Buy one used. Some previous comments on this set-up on the A'gon. I had this set-up back around 1996? Used a CJ PV10A Preamp.
Vandersteen's like tubes. Magic combination would be a Music Reference RM10 as previously advised or the new Audio Research VSI60 integrated which I've used with 2CE signatures in a very large room for some time. Either one will be detailed and open, plenty of bass and far more resolution overall than any Krell could provide.
I recently went to Revel Studio II's and went to seperates. Will be selling my VSI60 and 2CE signatures sometime but will probably sell them locally.
The Music Reference RM 10 is an small unique and capable amp that will destroy your pre judged thoughts on what an amp is capable of. Its about as raw and organic an amp you will find for the Vandersteen 2 series. Kimber 4 tc speaker wire and PBJ copper interconnects work great with just about any decent 12AX7 or 6DJ8 tube pre amps... yes i am also a dealer for MR JohnnyR
I've owned the 2and 3s, as well as the RM10s, but never together. I will say that the RM10s are one of audio's magical amps, and if John Rutan says they are compatible in terms of power, then I would think the recommendation is one to seriously consider. Someone told me that the best he ever heard the 2ces was when driven by an RM 10.
