Amplifier speaker match

I was just looking at the 
 Jolida website and see they offer upgrades. Why not call them with your question and see if they can modify the amp to work with low impedance speakers?

Thanks Bob, I may do that. I never listened to Vandersteens. I don’t who sells them locally in Chicago area. Is that 2k new or used? I’m wiling to spend 2k’ish in a used market figuring to get more bang for the buck. I spoke with my local guy. He pretty much talked me out of the Thiel’s even though he use to be a Thiel dealer. He said parts are no more. I asked him to look for something for me in a previously owned 2kish price range. What type of music are best for Vandersteens? I'm not at all a classical guy but am bigtime into jazz, vocals etc. I think maybe I’ll contact jolida in the AM. Thank you again

luvrockin-

I would be remiss if i did not suggest a sweet pair of Thiel CS 2.4 speakers.
Keep us posted on your buying decision.

Happy Listening!

Yes, the Vandy 3a sigs go for $2K used(that's what I sold mine for), but they take up more room than the Thiel's due to the Sound Anchors(Which is why I went to the Treo's).
Both Vandy and Thiel based their speakers on Time and Phase alignment, so I would think they should share similar characteristics.- Which is why I'd like to hear a pair. I don't think I would be disappointed with the models designed by Mr. Thiel. He certainly garnered a loyal following.
Vandersteen speakers play music. It doesn't matter what you are listening to. I was hooked 30+ years ago when they first came out. I was glad to find they have prospered during my stereo-less days.
A quick look at Vandersteen's website shows a dealer near Milwaukee:

You could also go with a 1ci speaker and add some 2w subs, which would give you easier placement and probably as good sound reproduction. The Vandy subs are unlike any other sub.
John Rutan at audioconnection (his Agon name) gives great advice and can help you with making decisions. He has tons of experience with many different manufacturers.

Saturday Audio in Chicago sells used high end audio. I’ve dealt with them before, you might check and see if they have something in your price range to work with the Jolida. I’d think, without further research, that you’d have that problem with any thiel, except maybe the 1 series..
