Mark Levinson with Vandersteens?


Hey all, hoping you can help me find a great SS match for Vandersteen Treos.

I have heard them with the Ayre V-5xe and was impressed but not blown away. A friend suggested the ML 532H would have more weight and body while retaining the definition.

Music = everything from Miles to Massive Attack but almost no classical.

System = hi-res files thru a Bel Canto 2.5 DAC/preamp direct into amp in a room 20w x 16d x 10h.

Thanks in advance.

To be fair, I'm not a fan of the Levinson house sound to begin with, but I think the Levinsons exacerbate the Vandersteens already laid back sound signature. YMMV.
For the kind of money your looking at I would suggest you shop around and find the amp that best suits your taste. Your Treos are will reveal the nature of your components that you choose. What amplification have you tried with these? As far as recommendation go I'm a died in the wool fan of the McCormack line. They just work well with the Vandersteens. I currently use a pair of 0.5 monoblocks with all the SMc Audio upgrades on my Vandy 3A Signatures.
