Amp for Vandersteens 2ce sig 2's

Price range?

Samhar,

Used or new up to 3,500...

Uhhh not $3500 unit unless you plan to upgrade speakers.
McCormack amps would mate great with Audiable Illusions and Vandys.

Don't be fooled by the price of Vandersteen 2Ce Sigs. It has been my experience Vandersteen speakers will continue to improve as the associated equipment is upgraded. Audio Research tube or solid state is a good match with Vandersteens as well as Quicksilver Audio amplifiers.

The only Vandy's I like is 1c for about a year before I sold them. Other Vandy's can only play orchestral music and very bad for rock or instrumentals that I mainly listen to.
While 3,4,5 series impressed me on orchestral music capabilities(especially with brass), 2Ce Sigs did not impress me on any kind of music at all with any kind of amplification: slow and undefined bass, the drum sounds longer than it should, piano sounds very dull... The good part of this speaker is tonality, detail. There are lots of folks that didn't like them which makes a good used bargain for those who likes.
