I think its a bit marginal. I used a pair of McCormack DNA 0.5s (100 wpc to 8 ohm) vertical bi-amp. For a single amp, I used a DNA 1.0 @ 185 wpc into 8 ohms. If you are fixed on the amp, I would go 2CE sigs which are selling now for very good prices used (ca. $800) and then add a 2WQ sub which come up regularly.
Amp for Vandy 3A?
Hello-
I have a hybrid stereo amp from Blue Circle that's rated 80 watts into 8ohm, 100 watts into 4ohm. Is that enough/stable power to drive a pair of Vanderteen 3As? I've read these speakers may need more, but I've also read this would be enough power for moderate level listening. Or would I be better off in the 2CE sig, or sig II range..?
Happy Holidays!
