Well, the upgrade research (and $$$) starts. I have been happy with Vandersteen Model 2's driven by Adcom GFA-555 and a Adcom GTP-500. I want to keep with Vandersteen (I love 'em) and have been looking at adding their wall-mounted rears and center. What is really a concern is Amp/Preprocessor selection. I have been reading reviews and talking with medium-to-high-end dealers. Does anyone have comparison experience with the following driving Vandersteen or comparably efficient speakers? ...or have a recommendation in this price range? I'd like to put together a short list before running out for weeks of listening.
I've had someone state that I do not need 200-watts, but I've had the GFA-555 up quite a ways in the past.
Amp (THX-certified):
Parasound HCA-2205a, (220-watt)
Parasound HCA-1205a, (140-watt)
Sunfire Cinema Grand, (200-watt)
Sherwood Newcastle AVP-9080r, (120-watt)
Adcom GFA-7500, (150-watt)
Pre-pro (THX-certified):
Parasound AVC-2500
Sunfire Theater Grand
Sherwood Newcastle AVP9080R
Adcom GTP-750
