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. :)
