What is overkill for Vandersteens?

Hi, I recently came into 2 McIntosh mc2500 amps, and I just bought a pair of Vandersteen 3a's. I was going to sell one of the amps, but should I just keep them and run them mono, or is that just ridiculous. How much power do most 3a owner use? I know I can put them in and listen, but they are heavy, and I've already hurt my back, and my 4 year old is no help. It would also bring up other issues (ie. another power cord, explaining to my wife where the chair went to?) I would rather not have to deal with unless everyone tells me I have to do it.

Thanks,
Mike

The 3as do like power, but Tvad and others are correct. 500 wpc should be more than enough. Try them as monos and then sell one.

Truth is, at 500wpc, one is plenty...
Anything 500 can do, 1,000 can do better. ;)
