I'm looking to upgrade my amp as well, because the ones I have available (a 'vintage' JVC JA-S44 and a <gag>Technics SA-EX140</gag>) are only basic low-to-mid end consumer grade that probably won't do justice to the speakers. I'm willing to go second-hand on the amp as well, so I'm hoping that the amp will eat only $200-300 out of the $1200 budget. That budget isn't written in stone, but I do want to be careful around that slippery slope. Based on your posts and others and several reviews I've read the Vandersteen 1C and 2 Signature are top candidates and I will definitely give them a serious listen. Thanks to you and others for the other suggestions -- it really helps to narrow down a couple things before walking into the store.
Any particular recommendations for an amp to go with Vandersteens? -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61984 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
