Vandersteen 1C with 845 S.E.T.

Hello AsonicYouth. Do not discount the drive of an 845 powered amplifier. Unless your room is overly large, I honestly can't see a problem here. Every 845 based amplifier I have heard makes for beautiful music.

Go for it!
The tubes will sound more powerful typically watt for watt than solid state. Also, the 1Cs are very easy to drive. Given two caveats: first, you don't try to rock to Led Zeppelin at ear bleed volumes; second, you don't have too large of a room.
Good luck and have fun,
Michael

HI.

I am considering purchasing a used New Audio Frontiers 845 SE Special Edition.

Was just wondering whether you still own it, whether you enjoy/enjoyed it, and what speakers you ended up using with it.

Thank you,

Leonard Miles

Agree with Mikej One of our main featured systems is Vandersteen 1Cis, Quicksilver Mini Mono's 25 WPC mono blocks. works great
Your 25 wpc amp with 845 could be a special pairing it all depends on the quality of the amp not the power.

The N.A.F.845 SET amplifier at 25 watts just can`t be compared to a NAD 20-25 watt amp. They are entirely different in quality(large gap) and real world performance. The big 845 amp`s power supply and transformers place this amp in a completely higher realm.
