Classe CA2300 - Mark Levinson 532H - Krell FPB300c

All 3 are good amps, but not the best for Vandersteen. None of them will be able to bring out what your speakers are really capable of. If your budget allows, consider getting 2 Ayre V-5's instead. There's just no comparison to the type of Synergy you get with an Ayre/Vandersteen combo. As long as your room isn't huge, even 1 V-5 should be better. Another very good option, if you come across a used one, is a Theta Dreadnaught. That's a multichannel amp, so you would use 4 channels for your speakers. Ultimately I like the V-5 a little better, but the Theta was designed by Ayre so you'll still get that synergy.

Thanks. McCormack DNA-750 mono blocks are also in the running.

Zd542: is there a particular characteristic an amp would have that's matched with the Vandersteens? I like a sound that is not to far forward and slamming -- which is why I really the Vandersteens -- very clear and laid back.

Evolving-

you have an interesting system. How do you like the Cary mated w/ the MF amp?

Also, and most importantly, which brand(s) of cabling are you using in your system? Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
