Amplifier for Vandersteen 3A sigs?

Any advice for an amplifier for Vandersteen 3A sigs? I hear great things about McCormack DNA 125 amps? McCormack pre amp as well? Is integrated amp out of the question for these speakers? I'm not very saavy with high end equipment and not familiar with components and matching them. Also is there any restrictions with these speakers and proximity to an LCD TV?

Quicksilver V-4's and Rogue M-150's are both excellent with the 3A-Sigs.

You might want to look for a pair of the PSE Studio V monoblocks. Very musical.
I have the 3A sigs and started with the PSEs. They are great little amps for a reasonable amount used. Moved up to Theta Dreadnaught to make it easier for home theatre. PSEs used should run around 1k for two monoblocks while a Dreadnaught can run you lots more(depending on the configuration)

I'm 11 years late to this thread but I've used a Krell 300i, Audio Research VT200, Musical Fidelity A308, and most recently a Pass Labs Aleph 3 to drive my 3A Sigs.

The speakers have sounded great with all these amps but the VT200 and Aleph 3 worked the best. In my current setup the Aleph 3 works the best. The speakers are very revealing and musical at the same time.

I've had these speakers for 16 years and continue to be impressed with them.
