SS. amp. for vandersteen 3A-signatures

McCormack.

Steve McCormack uses Vandersteen 3A Signatures in his reference system, so Unsound's suggestion is excellent.

I will also second or 3rd the McCormack suggestions as well as the Ayre.

I've heard both with Vandersteen and both sounded very good!

Hasn't Vandy been traditionally mated with Audio Research?

My brother drives his 3A Sigs with an AR 100.2 solid state amp and loves it. The only thing he'd say he might do is add another at some point.

But, I see ARC has the SD & HD series SS amps now and they could be a substantial step up from that decades old design.

Belles Ref amps work great on the 3A.
