I second Robsker's opinion, a nice tube amp or tube integrated will sound great on these speakers. A local Philly dealer used to pair the 1B's with the EL34 hybrid AMC CVT-3030 (30 wpc) and it sounded terrific. I used my 1B's back in the day with a 50 wpc Creek 5050, also a nice match, although I know I would have liked tubes on the 1B's much better.
What amplifier to get for Vandy 1 C's
Hi all,
This is my first post. Anyways, I think I am interested in upgrading my system's amplifier.
Listed components in my system are
Sota Saphire turntable> Cambridge audio 551P > NAD c325BEE>
Vandersteen 1C
I also use a playstation 3 or oppo DV 980-H to play cd's and a sansui sc-1110 for cassettes.
I think I want to break out the amplifier section of NAD and use a separate stage running out of the C325BEE preamp.
Suggestions?
