  Vac Standard 220 standard, signature, or Phi
I was hoping someone could tell me about any experience they may have with these amps. What speakers they may be driving with them, preamps... I just do not hear any feedback on them and am curious about the results others may have had. Thanks in advance for all feedback.

I appreciate the feedback, I am using the stand 220 sig. and will be taking delivery on the Vandersteen 5a shortly. I think the 220 is a capable performer but did not drive my previous Egg Andra 2's sufficienly for my personal tastes. Perhaps the 12 " woofers in the EW's were a bit too much for the VAC. I believe the VAC's will be better matched with the Vandy's due to their built in SS amp taking care of the low frequencies. I am also awaiting new input tubes(mullard cv4003) for the 220 although I have heard they were finickey with non-VAC tubes. Hopefully it will all come together, if not, VTL, CARY 211, Quicksilver V4, BAT, maybe even back to the Tenor 75. I'm calm , I'm calm.
