Plinius with Vandersteen 2ce

under

by lightweight i mean the SA100 has a fuller sound and so that is why i mention it may be a bit warm with the vandy, where the 8200 is a bit lighter and so that is why you think the match has good balance

sorry to hi-jack your post Macd

For several reasons (including domestic), separates wouldn't work too well for me.

So, alas, I'll have to keep slumming it with only an integrated from Plinius.

Somehow I'll find the courage to survive. :)

underlying, i have owned the 8200mkII and the Sa100MKIII and the 8200 mkII is a bit lightweight campared to the SA100MKIII fwiw

I have the 8200 MKII integrated paired with Vandy 2Ce Signatures...wouldn't change a darn thing about it, I assure you!

There's never been a time where I've said "Gosh, that's a little too warm" while listening.

The Plinius is like a very refined rump-kicker, if that makes sense. So when you put that with the truly full-range sound of the Vandys, it's a great thing.

I used to own that amp and a friend had those speakers

I think it would be awesome if a bit warm...

both have really good midranges and the iron vise grip of the Plinius would help with the slightly loose Vandy bass, a guess is that the high end may be a bit rolled off but you would be lovin the mids
