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

I'm sort of surprised you are putting such large speakers in such a small room. Mine are in a 14'x28'x8' and it's barely large enough. The problem is the bass: the wavelength are too long for the size of the room when you get down to 35 HZ or so. Digital equalization or a larger room are almost essential.

McCormack amps are excellent. I am using a Llano hybrid , but they're out of business now.

Best of luck.
