Matching amp to modulus 3B and vanderstein 2ce


Looking for the best matching amplifier to Audible Illusions Modulus 3B, vanderstein 2CE, cambridge Audio Azur 840C, Rega Planar 3. Any suggestions to any or all of the above. Currently running Sonic Fronteirs SFS 80 and sounds real good, but looking to upgrade. Chose system to reproduce live music. Play the guitar and mandolin and good midrange is really important. Highs must not be fatigueing (not harsh), and bass true and not booming. Just upgraded from a modulus 3 to the 3B and there is a bid difference accross the board, really liked the 3 but the 3B has better bass, better mids and highs.

Agree with Jebe-
The Vandies and McCormack match well. Steve McCormack told me the DNA series was built and designed using Vandies, at least in part.
Audible Illusions mated with Quicksilver and Belles amps
have been classic combinations. I like the Quicksilver Mid Mono's. The discountined Silver 60 also great. I also like the Audible with Belles amps as well but have not heard the 150A Reference. The 150A Hot Rod is a great amp
mated to the AI3B, and a buy now used...But, I continue to listen to the tubes...

Have not heard the DNA series. Agree with Atmasphere as 35 watts of tube will be fine. I have a Will Vincent Stereo
Seventy that sounds great with the AI3B. Plenty of power to drive the current Steen 2CE Sig 2's.
Any quality tube amp. When I had the Vandy 2ce and Audible 3a I used a Cary V12.
((((I was using Vandersteen 2ce signatures at the time.)))

Stereo5... Bob Are you sure you were using 2CE Sigs?
all of your posts say you had the over 20 year old design 2CE...
