SS. amp. for vandersteen 3A-signatures

I will also second or 3rd the McCormack suggestions as well as the Ayre.

I've heard both with Vandersteen and both sounded very good!

Hasn't Vandy been traditionally mated with Audio Research?

My brother drives his 3A Sigs with an AR 100.2 solid state amp and loves it. The only thing he'd say he might do is add another at some point.

But, I see ARC has the SD & HD series SS amps now and they could be a substantial step up from that decades old design.

Belles Ref amps work great on the 3A.

I have the A21 paired up with the 3A sigs. and I like it very much. I have not compared it to other amps so I can not say if something is better. I can say it works and sounds good in my system.
