A Creek 5350 is a really good match fur the 1C's. That would be my first choice without spending too much. If you can afford an Ayre CX-7, that would be even better. As far as using your NAD as a preamp, I don't think that would be the best move. If anything, use the amp section instead. Your speakers are revealing enough that you would see a bigger improvement with a different preamp.
What amplifier to get for Vandy 1 C's
Hi all,
This is my first post. Anyways, I think I am interested in upgrading my system's amplifier.
Listed components in my system are
Sota Saphire turntable> Cambridge audio 551P > NAD c325BEE>
Vandersteen 1C
I also use a playstation 3 or oppo DV 980-H to play cd's and a sansui sc-1110 for cassettes.
I think I want to break out the amplifier section of NAD and use a separate stage running out of the C325BEE preamp.
Suggestions?
