VAC Ren Mk III / Sig mkII Preamplifier with SS Amp



Does anyone have experience using a VAC Renaissance Mk III or Signature Mk II Preamplifier with a high power SS amplifier? ie: Krell, Pass ...

According to the output impedance spec of the preamps, there shouldn't be a problem but I like to hear from real life experiences.

Thanks!

I'm using my Ren. Sig. Mk. II with Electrocompaniet Nemo monoblock amps (600 wpc @ 8ohms/1.2 khz @ 4 ohms) into a pair of SF Stradavari's & the sound is fantastic!
The Nemo's sound like very powerfull tube amps with a crystal clear (no glare) top end, a sweet, warm, lush midrange & bass to die for.
Once thought about selling it to open a slot in my rack as they are dual chassis, but what could I possibly replace them with?
Probably one of - if not the best tube pre amps ever made!
