CJ MV-55 with Vandersteen 2CE's. A good match?

My concern is whether my MV-55 will be a good fit for the 2ce.
(I don't rock but I enjoy poopular music, classical, and jazz. Passive preamp. My tube set is on thw warm side: Mullard 12ax7, RCA VT-231, & Svetlana EL-34.)
I am looking for a wide and dynamic sound stage.
Does anybody have experience with a CJ MV-55 or CAV-50 with the Vandersteens?

I also agree with Sdcampbell. When it comes to Vandies, I've found his comments and observations to be right on.

Further, being a current owner of 2CE's, I can attest to the fact that warm, "tubey" sounding amps are not the best match.

In addition to Sdcampbell's recommendations, you might want to look into McCormack amps. Solid state, but supposed to be slightly "tube-like" in sound, and an excellent synergy with Vandersteen speakers.
