VAC 30/30 would be tops on my list. I don't think you need the power of the VAC 70/70 for Merlin's.

I don't have experience with the other tube amps you have listed, but based upon what I've read in the past, I'd also be considering Atma-sphere, Music Reference RM9 and several Cary offerings.

Solide state amps would not be on my list.
