2ce signature vandersteen with what amp?

I also prefer tubes with these though they do also sound great with a high quality solid state amp. Powering mine with a recently purchased Rogue Cronus integrated.

Sounds amazing!

I've run my 2ceSigs and 2wq sub with both a ARC VT-60 (50 wpc) and now a McCormack DNA-225. Both amps perform well in the midrange in my set-up. I prefer the significantly better mid and lower base control with the DNA-225. Also, based on my experience, I highly suggest playing around with speaker placement. +/- a couple of inches can make a big difference - in my case, after I switched to the DNA-225, I moved my speakers out from the wall an additional 2 inches or so (this after following Vandersteen's set up instruictions to the letter)... and WOW, images floating and everything sounds better top to bottom. I really love my DNA-225.

I use the TAD-150 pre and TAD-60 power amp. I just rolled in some Tung Sol reissue Tubes in the power amp. Made the music sound more lush and open. Plenty of solid bass... I am not sure what Bizzy-Bee is selling the TAD-60 at but, I bought for $900. I had a DNA-1 and the TAD-60 with 60 watts per side put the DNA-1 to shame...

Buy a McCormack DNA 0.5 or DNA 1. They sound great with either. I've heard that Steve McCormack uses Vandersteens to test his amps. He actually advised me toward Vandersteen when I was looking at speakers to use with my DNA 1.

If you go ss, I would certainly recommend the DNAs and get them modified by Steve McCormack (SMcAudio) when you can afford it. Great amps, great service, work terrific w/VAndys (esp. vertical bi-amping).
