If you are wanting a more refined sound, consider a SMc modified McCormack amp. Every so often they appear on Audiogon for sale or you can purchase a used amp and have it modified to suit your sonic preferences. Steve McCormack and Kris Jeter at SmC have really refined their modifications and their modified beauties sound fantastic with Vandersteens!
What amp next for Vandersteens?
I currently have a YBA pre/amp with 50w into my model 2's. I love what it does but feel 50w even in a small room is not enough to get the dynamics right.I like the tonality and overall separation of instruments. My 100w Krell doesn't do it for me but it gets the dynamics right. What amp gives me the tonality and feel of the YBA with better dynamics?
