Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen?

Is it a classic mismatch or what? I mean nobody recommends Vandys for Mac and vice versa. I love both brands but if I buy Vandersteen 3A Signature I'll have to start looking for amps. I once tried hooking up 6900 to 3A Sig's and on 4Ohms the sound was dead while on 8 Ohms it was alive but thin. Is it the autoformers?

The 7270 or 7300 are both very rugged amps. You should have no problem with either.

Recently purchased a new pair of 2ceSig II and plan to add a new MA6600 or Luxman 507u early next year.

Originally, I was thinking Bryston. However, I gotta have my tone controls.

Did you buy your Vandersteen brand new?

Rugged. I like that terminology. Rarely do you see that word attributed to an amp. I like it...rugged.

Yes, I did and I am loving them.

Looking forward to upgrading my amp.
