Thanks for the tips, Bob.....from the responses so far, it looks like the 3As will sound good with most amps, but will perform best with modded versions. I'll probably look into having the DNA-125 upgraded since that is the best all-round amp I own. I'll try a couple of my amps with the speakers and see how that goes. My opinion is that I can't lose either way, just make things better.
Which amp for Vandersteen 3As?
I am in the process of picking up a very nice pair of Vandersteen 3As. I own several SS amps and am torn between which would be the best match for the Vandys. The amps are: McCormack DNA-125, PS Audio HCA-2, B&K 125.2, B&K 200.7, Adcom GFA-555ii, and a Pioneer Spec-4. The pre-amp will be a Cary SL-100. Any thoughts on which amp would offer the best synergy would be appreciated, especially from current/past Vandersteen owners.
