"As for the amp recommendation, I originally went the same route that Chaskell did also, debating between a Krell KAV-x00i or a Classe 151."
Well, actually...... I only suggested the Krell and Classe Integrateds to "Brooksd" as possible budget alternatives to his speaker of choice. Those aren't the amps I am personally using. I am driving my Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures with an Adcom GFA-5400 and an Adcom GFP-750 with MITerminator Cables.
And being that the Vandersteens seem to produce a warm sound with plenty of deep bass and a clean and neutral top-end, I think that a used Krell KAV Integrated would be a good match for the Vandersteens, which should result in a neutral sound.
