Anyone tried Vandersteen w/ Spectral?

@nkonor,
That is a sad story.
What did you end up doing?

gdnrbob,

Brought a pair of Pass XA 160.8 mono blocks. My Manley Steelhead can drive them directly. But I have put a Nelson Pass designed pre into the system and went Balanced XLRs pre to 160s and lowered noise floor to " I will never go back to RCAs "

Vinyl, tubes, Class A, Room acoustics Rule. Received the final diffusers for my room yesterday.
 I would agree w/ inna about tape, but have 3000lps.

You probably don't see the pairing because many Spectral dealers aren't Vandersteen dealers.

You see Ayre paired a lot with Vandersteen.

Years ago, RV teamed up with Steve McCormack at many shows using AQ cabling.  For the last several years, Ayre has been an electronic brand of choice with Vandys.  Apparently those two brands truly do play well with one another.
