- Audible Difference is still pushing the Adcom 555s or the NAD 2400 for
- the Vandersteen 2CEs. But if you're willing to kick in some more $$
- they'll take you into the middle room and show you the Bryston 2B (50w)
- and 3B (120w) amps. Thus far, I think the Bryston 3B is the best amp
- I've heard powering the Vandersteens. In the Adcom/B&K price range I
- think the Acurus A250 is a better sounding investment.
