I have received confirmation from the JRDG factory that just short of being capable of delivering absolutely ear-splitting sound pressure levels, the JRDG 102 amp will do very well on the Vandersteen 2C speakers. G.
The 102 is a wonderful amp, dead quiet and very smooth. I think the Vandies will work well. I have both a 102 and a C500. They share the same musical capability with the C500 only being able to deliver more bass and slam.
Thank you Delapole, here is a question for you, as you are experiencing 102 and C500 side by side in the same system. . . besides the obvious difference in power delivery, authority, etc. . . how does the 102 differ sonically from C500? In particular, what difference do you experience in low level information? . . . micro detail, micro dynamics, harmonic exposure, ambient cue, soundstage, imaging?
