I recently bought a pair of these in great condition. I'm finding the treble a little on the soft/warm side. Any amp suggestions that will help balance out the sound? I'm thinking Bryston.
As an earlier poster mentioned, many people buy used Vandersteens for under $600 and aren't looking for an expensive way to power them. I just bought a used pair for $325 and am on a very limited budget. Can anyone recommend a suitable integrated in the $300-400 range? Thanks!
If it's not too late to chime in, I am running a second system using 2-ce's ($300)and an adcom gfa-555 ($300), I think hard to beat for the money, though the real star is the welborne labs cato tube preamp which brings warm sound and great depth out of an inexpensive but relatively powerful SS amp.I run a Cullen stage four USB DAC and laptop loaded with flac files.
Tube amps may sound better with the vandies but for a budget system look for a decent tube preamp and some SS power.
