Which tube amp for McIntosh tube preamp C2200

I've just purchased McIntosh tube pre-amp C2200, I currently connect it with two McIntosh MC7200 (configured for mono) to feed my B&W 830S to listen to jazz, instruments and classic.

Now I would like to upgrade my solid amp (MC7200s) to tube amp. I have in mind for Acoustic Research VT200 mark I, or Rogue tube amps.

I am new for tubes, and would like some suggestion for what tube amps should I go for my McIntosh C2200.

Thanks in advance.

I agree with the MC275 suggestions. I had this amp with a C2300 and the combination was great. You might first try just one to see if that will drive your speakers. You can always buy a second one and run them in mono.

The amp is a real workhorse, extremely reliable, responds well to tube rolling and overall has great sonics for the price.
