Vandersteen Aficianados please step inside (Quatro)


I've got my eye on a pair of Quatros. Would a 60 wpc tube amp comfortably drive these? Or would I be doomed to something in the SS category? Thoughts appreciated.

Yes, no problem! Get a pair of Dynaco MkIII's. These are great sounding tube amps built with excellent iron.

So, despite the somewhat low sensitivity ,these speakers are an easy load. The bass is handled by a separate class D amp thats in the speaker so you're really only driving the midbass up. I've not tried it but I suspect you'll be fine. You can call Vandersteen and ask. They'll probably put Richard on the phone. 

If you are looking to get something new, the Belles Aria seems to be getting a reputation for being a good match. I use the dual mono 85 watt x2 with the Quatro. Not a tube amp and not the one you mentioned. Apologies, if I’m off topic.
