- I also recommend the ST-140. Best bang for buck and a great match for
- the 2Ce. I have Adcoms for my Maggies and that is a good match but I
- would not recommend the Adcoms for the Vandersteens. The low end works
- but the high end does not.

- Next on my recommended list, behind the ST-140, is any of the Parasound
- line. They are softer than the Adcoms but not quite as warm as the B&K.
