Would like a good integrated to power Vandersteens


I have Vandersteen 2CE signature 2 and also Model 1. Both are great sounding but a little laid back. I would appreciate any suggestions for an integrated amplifier or reasonable amp/pre-amp combo to bring these speakers alive.

Lloyddelee21, Actually Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures don't need a lot of power and quite often lower powered amplifiers sound better. Any Audio Research amp/preamp combination no matter how low the power rating, combined with a Vandersteen subwoofer will be the best sound you could possibly imagine from a pair of Vandersteens.

Jimkinc, Take Stingreen's advice and call John at the Audio Connection.
i'd ditto the krells as well. any of the last few generations would do fine. pre-owned...they can had pretty cheap and pack plenty of punch. good match with laid back speakers imho.
Shengya, Kavent, and Vincent integrateds absolutely kill for the money (and they're all made at the same factory). Not that I'm advocating killing for money, but you know what I mean.
