I am looking for full rnage speakers that can be driven by either of these two amps. I like a wide range of music but prefer a musical sound overall. I do like to juice the volume sometiimes and I do want a speaker that sound good loud or soft.
Hard to beat the Vandersteen 5As ,,, and from what I heard at CES, the same will likely be true for the Quatro. I drive my 5s with mono VK-60s to great effect.
The Audio Artistry Dvorak mates well with the ARC and is certainly full range (subs require another amp, however). These can be had for a song (around $2000) and excel with full tilt symphonic works. They use dual eight-inch midrange drivers which, I believe, adds to the ease and "majesty" of their sound. The mid/tweet panels are somewhat tall so you may need to tilt them forward to be on axis.
I had a BAT VK75SE that drove my Verity Audio Fidelio's really well. Great sounding speaker with some of the very best mid range I have heard! They have nice detail at low volume, but can also go loud if you feel the urge.
