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?

Okay. Thanks for all the posts!
If the Vandersteen's are not a good match and I already own the CJ amp, what speakers would match well?
(I don't want monitors. Budget about $1000.)

try the vandys before you give up...the cj is not a mushy midrange tube amp....on the warm side of many ss units,but certainly tonally correct....also castle harlechs($1050....reg price $2300..on audiogon. you are correct not to get monitors
