Vandersteen 3a sigs- Tube or SS


New Vandersteen 3a sigs. Room is going to be 11x13x8. Thinking either two MC275 mcintosh tube amp, or a mc2102, or a mcintosh MC402SS amp. All three are in the similar price range that are going to be matched up with a Mcintosh C2200 preamp. Listen to all sorts of music all accross teh board. Like to listen at moderate volumes. If it is the 275's, they will be bridged to mono each.

Thanks,

Pete

Never heard Mac gear with Vandersteen but, from the Mac gear that I have heard, they tend to make bright sounding speakers sound smoother. Vandy's are anything but, bright. I have TAD Amp and preamp with my 2 CE signatures but, have had good results also with McCormack and ARC gear. If you go with Mac, then try to audition first. I would be interested in your impressions..
