The Original Poster seemed to be asking for a good $3k system (stereo
with cd). Vandersteens are designed to be kind to solid state
amplifiers, so that's where I'd start, although I imagine a good tube
amp would serve. (No one commented on my $3k recommendation: Quad
63s/used and a cheap integrated amp.)

Ecch.


You recommend MMGs and Quads get an "ecch"?

It's the amp. MMGs and Quads are fine, actually, but hard to drive.

I've heard good results from the NAD C340, despite some gain problems
with some sources. ScottW reports similar problems with a Krell amp, so
maybe it's not a question of price.
