Integrated for Vandersteen 2ce sigII

Conrad Johnson has a new integrated- CA 150.
I want to demo it as soon as possible.

I suggest the Ayre AX-7e. I had one powering my 3A Signatures while the AX-5 was back at the factory getting the Twenty update and it handled music and movies with aplomb. They show up on the used market around the same price as a Cronus.

Ayre and Vandersteen work very well together....  Hard to find anything better without lots of additional green

Thanks everyone who has chimed in on this discussion, every bit of information has been very welcomed. mesch- a phono stage is important because this is a system I'm trying to build around analog, hence the reason I'm interested in a tube integrated. This will be my first foray into analog& tubes since I was a kid. 

I’m baffled by the open baffle comment, only because I though 2Cs weren’t open baffle speakers, simply time aligned drivers. I’ll go look it up…baffling…OK…looked it up…they have minimal baffles as all Vandies do.
