Audio Research Ref75 se

op

as others have said, ref75se is a terrific, absolutely top drawer amp

whether it will drive vandy 2ce’s depends on room and listening level - in most normal cases it should do just fine

that said, as paul mentioned above, for the vandy 2ce (sigs i hope) i would err on the side of a nice solid state amp (think hegel, ayre, belles, pass labs) - the ref 75se isn’t ideally suited and frankly it is a class above the speaker and not a glove fit (better for higher efficiency higher impedance speakers imho)... you’d also save a grand or two and have as good if not better sound (especially in the bass region)

for vandy's i would err on the side of a nice solid state amp

Ditto, and I'm a tube guy.

Get the amp and upgrade the speakers.

I've heard the Reference 75SE with the 2CE signature III, it is a fantastic pairing.  For me, it was more than enough power and drove them effortlessly to painful volume levels.

Further, as others have said, if you upgrade your speakers down the road, the amp will sound even better with better speakers.

hey thank you all for your responses!

well the thing is that i tried to find some good SS gear but it couldnt or it was more expensive.

for example the 75se is for 6.1k$

 and i found PASS Labs for 2-3k$ more ax60.5 was around 8k i think.. might be more

cant find  Ayre anywhere .

so its either i need to wait for some used Pass or go with the tube 75se which i kinda like tubes anyway, even tho i can live with both SS or Tubes.
