Tomic601 Your opinion makes me wonder just how great a pair of Atma Sphere amps might sound on Vandersteen 7s. I just might prefer my MA-1 3.3s over the Ayres in the mids and highs.
i agree and have wondered myself... even thought about building a set of the 60 wpc kits to find out... i think gdnrbob has a pair of atmaspheres driving Vandersteens..maybe he can comment - they might have the carbon tweeter
i do think it is very possible to chase our tails on amps...we have such a plethora of really good amps out there...many mentioned in this thread for sure.
I would also recomment Ypsilon with Wilson speakers, a very good match comparable to d'Agostino. I was fortunate enough to have a home demo of a full Ypsilon system on my Thiel CS 3.7 a month ago, i was completely bown away never heard such refinement. With Alexia's i guess the new Hyperion monoblocks would be the right choice.
Speaking personally... Thanks for the Ypsilon suggestion. They might be Awesome. But I do value long-standing companies or designers, an established dealer network, and will give the tie to products manufactured in the USA. And I am not working on an unlimited budget. I think right now I'm down to a final three. Ayre MX-R Twenties, D'Agostino S-250, or maybe a VTL S-400 II.
