Hi, I need help. I have Vandersteen 2cs and am looking to set up a HT. I have a Vandersteen VCC1 center speaker and a V2W subwoofer on order. My room is about 13x27 feet. I need guidance on what size Rotel receiver I need. RSX 1056 or RSX 1067. One option I may have is to use my Counterpoint SA12(about 80 watts/ch) to drive the 2Cs. I don't have dealers where I can audition these items, so I'll be depending on your input.
Thanks,
Truepenny

Hi Truepenny. Welcome to The Guide! :later:

You'll definitely get more Rotel-based responses if you post this in the Club Rotel forum here. They are a "chatty" bunch. :B

IIRC, the Vandys are fairly inefficient - like 86-87 dB at 6 ohms nominal? Similar to my Aerials at least. Driving those, I'd go for as much horsepower as possible.

I am using a RMB1095 to power my Vandy IIs & IIIs with a great deal of success regards Dave...
