John Ruttan also used the huge and expensive Cary monoblocks with them (can't remember the model, but it was the $40K ones with the huge transmitter tube) to good effect in the past.
Best monoblock tubes amp with Vandersteen 5As
What is the best sounding monoblock amp for the Vandersteen 5A's at moderate listening levels in a 12 x 25 foot room with 9 ft ceilings, hardwood floor? I have heard them with Cary and Quicksilvers. The Quicksilver V4 sounded very good but what else will sound even better???
