B&K and Vandersteen Good match??

I agree with Rrog

In that price range, I'd suggest PSE and for just a little more McCormack.

The great thing about that speaker is that it sounds very good with all kinds of amps. I have driven it with 28 tube watts and 300 SS watts. Still sounds great as long as the source and electronics are quality.

I have owned Vandersteen 2C's with B&K amplification and I did not like them together. As you say two darker sounding components don't match. They don't sound terrible but I ended up getting rid of the B&K stuff. I have heard Vandersteens with Audio Research tube amplification and they were a great match albeit at a higher cost. If they are in your price range....

Cannot afford that kind of gear Am in the Rotel, NAD,Denon, HK ,B&K world. Also considering a friends Von Schweikert VR 2s or Infinity Kappa 7.1s Thanks
