McCormack or Quicksilver for Vandersteen 2ci?

To tube or not to tube...
Anybody heard/compared Vandersteen 2ci's driven by McCormack DNA .5 deluxe (or Rev A mod) vs. Quicksilver m-60's vs. Audio Research Classic 60? Audible Illusions preamp, long MIT 330 interconnects, large 20x20 carpeted room with vaulted ceilings. Previous systems with Spica TC-50/Quad ESL 57 driven by GSI mod Dyna ST 70. Prefer luscious mids. Listen to pop female vocals, jazz, classical, some orchestral...
Thanks!

Prefer luscious mids.

Didn't you answer your own question? No SS amp that I have heard (at least in the price range of $10K or less) does what a tube amp can do in the mids.

Happy Listening.
