I have heard the MV75 driving Vandersteens, and it did do very well in driving them at low levels
Perhaps it was not happy driving the reactive load of the Acoustat 2+2s I used at the time. Not all amps can deal with the low impedance and funky phase angles. :)
First, it is not a Stasis, it is a Cascode amp.
Actually, the Stasis series combined both concepts: separate class A voltage / class AB current mirror operation with cascoded outputs. While the CAS1 used six outputs per channel, the Stasis 3 used sixteen.
Using sixteen 150 watt devices per channel also obviated the need for any protection circuitry. :)

A fellow audio salesman drove Acoustat 3's with a 200 watt CJ Premiere. That was a happy combination! I suspect I would like the Stasis 3.

about the larger CJ amps.
I still had 2+2s when I purchased VTL MB-450s in 2001. At nearly 500 watts into 4 ohms, they drove the Acoustats very nicely, too. :)
