Just Ordered...

Vandersteen Model 2Ce Sig ii's. I did some serious listening and am hoping I made the right move. I think all of their virutes lined up with mine and their vices are things I can live with. I am not sure I could do better for the price.

My question is, I still have the Cambridge Azur 640A V2 and decided to abandon the PrimaLuna 4. I would love suggestions on the best direction to look for amplification. I am thinking tubes but would love input on what works well for those who have (and love) these speakers.

Thanks!

I have had great results with Quicksilver Mid Mono's, Silver 60's, Will Vincent modded Stereo 70, Will's Triode 70 is awesome and Belles 150A Hot Rod. The Vandersteen model 2 is easy to drive and there are lots of choices. Have fun...

I have a pair of 2Ce sigs matched with a stock McCormack DNA-1 and a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 Sig tubed preamp......really, really nice synergy between those pieces. I would look hard at a McCormack amp.

Gustav1 , Where did you go to listen to the Vandersteen 2CE Sig2? What amp was used that made you buy the 2CEs?

Conrad Johnson has always gone well with Vandersteen. I even listened to the 2CE sig 2 with The Rega Brio and thought it sounded pretty good.

Timo62,
Good points. I heard them with both Leben and Naim amplification. I really liked the Leben sound. Naim was solid but didn't have the "soul" that the Leben did.

I have also heard good things about line magnetic but havent auditioned them. I just want to collect all the info I can to make short list of popular pairings and then audition everything I can.
