A lot of Vandersteen dealers also sell Audio Research electronics. I've heard the 7's sounding fantastic powered by ARC. Give Randy at Optimal Enchantment (in Santa Monica, CA) a call.
Vandersteen 7 amps?
I have Vandersteen 7's and was running them on Quicksilver v4 sounded great but about 6 yeas ago I bought
Aesthetix mono blocks, nothing but trouble they keep shunting down,
Aesthetix has no idea what is wrong, no error message they keep blaming my power, I have had 3 electricians here tell me nothing wrong, dedicated circuits run, tried them on other circuits as well same issue, they just crash and shut down for no reason at medium volume. I have suffered now for 5 years with no one having a clue what is going on. So it is time to dump them and get something that works. The Vandersteen amps are to much $$$ and seem unattainable anyhow every time I called Richard it seems they are unavailable.
As much as I love the speaker it seems like there are only 2 amps that realy work with it, the Aesthetix and the Vandersteen. So what is other people using at this point I may even dump the speaker if I can't find a good matching amp that works with them.
