Vandersteen 2ce with Marantz MA 500 monoblocks

Does anyone have an opinion on this set up i am waiting for my dad to ship my old 2 channel gear and I have 2 Ma 500 mono blocks, but am also considering running the Vandys with two bryston 3 NRB in mono configuration which would give me 400 watts per channel. Is that overkill? i listen to mostly acoustic music jazz, folk classical big band and a fair amount of classic rock and light rock. . a little help fellow music lovers

They are frequently on sale here, as they were hugely popular and a lot were sold. McCormack has offered a steady stream of upgrade options, so don't be surprised by varying asking prices. FYI, the input impedance varies quite a bit on various models. Generally the lower powered (though still relatively high powered) amps have a higher input impedance than the higher powered (very high power) amps. IMHO, one of the better values in audio, and a super match with Vandersteens.
